Last night was "Night Out!".
It caught us a bit off guard, because it has only been 3 weeks since out last "Night Out!". Last month, Good Friday fell on the 2nd Friday, so we pushed "Night Out!" to the 3rd Friday for April. Now we are back on schedule, the 2nd Friday of the month.
With the new brochures out and more and more "word of mouth", more families are hearing about "Night Out!". Last night we had four new families, which totalled 9 new kids! That was just awesome. We had a total of 16 kids last night (12 with special needs and 4 were sibs and volunteer's kids).
We were a bit low on volunteers last night. We didn't have enough to have one-on-one buddies for all the children, but it seemed to work okay because the fellowship hall, where we meet, is such a great room. We already have plans to be more aggressive in our push for volunteers next month.
One really exciting thing that happened last night was having KIMA- Action News come out to do a story on "Night Out!". The reporter said the story can be viewed on their website www.kimatv.com. It was a very short segment, but it did get the word out to more people, and that is what we wanted.
All in all, it was a wonderful night! God is so good! I am so glad that we have this opportunity to reach out to families with God's love.
