Dublin's 4th of July Parade

Whoohoo!!! It's been a long but fun day. This morning we had about 55 Encounter Church friends walking, roller-blading, strollering and driving in our cities 4th of July parade. The 3000 Frisbees and 100 lbs. of candy were all gone about two hundred yards before we completed the parade route. It was fun to see many people on the roadside we knew from DYA sports, other churches or our neighborhoods. This evening we saw the Dublin fireworks with three other Encounter families. We were a noisy bunch with seventeen kiddos running around.

Tomorrow after the church service we begin the set-up for our VBS on site at Eli Pinney Elementary next week. You can register your children online at www.encounterchurchjerome.com. It should be a great week with people from our the local neighborhoods and all our own children attending. Many of our people are involved to make it a really fun experience.
