[0:00] All night I come, when I am home to wonder, I sit around the world's life and day.
[0:24] I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, I talk throughout the universe to stay.
[0:39] And since I told my Savior God to me, how great thou art, how great thou art.
[0:54] And since I told my Savior God to me, how great thou art, how great thou art.
[1:10] When there's a mountain, for its names I'm golden, and hear the birds singing in the trees.
[1:25] Then I look down from the mountain's pasture, and hear the rock, and feel the gentle breeze.
[1:38] And since I told my Savior God to me, how great thou art, how great thou art.
[1:53] And since I told my Savior God to me, how great thou art.
[2:09] And when I fear that God is somehow serving, sent Him to die, I stand to live.
[2:23] And when I am the cross, I couldn't let Him be. And yet it's time to take away my sin.
[2:38] And yet it's time to take away my sin.
[2:56] Oh, my Savior was to be, I'll bring the war, I'll bring the war.
[3:09] When Christ shall come, which shall look at the nation, and take me home, my joy shall fill my heart.
[3:25] And I shall bow in humble adoration, and there will be my God, I'll bring the war.
[3:39] And since my soul, my Savior was to be, how great thou art. How great thou art, and sing my song, my Savior was to be.
[4:01] How great thou art, how great thou art. Thank you. You may be seated.
[4:23] Now we're going to have the Craig girls, Rachel Craig at the piano, and on the violins, Ella and Celia Craig with the old rugged cross. Thank you.

[9:16] Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
[9:28] Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. When I was his enemy A love like this I cannot comprehend He gave himself To pay the debt I should pay When I was lost He gave himself to be my way Though I deserve to be upon the cross that day In love he took my place In love he took my place And gave himself My nails were in his hands My crown of thorns he wore My stripes were on his back My heavy cross he bore And then God turned his back He turned it on my sin Jesus won a victory
[10:29] That I could never win He gave himself To pay the debt I should pay When I was lost He gave himself to be my way Though I deserve to be upon the cross that day In love he took my place In love he took my place And gave himself In love he took my place In love he took my place And gave In love he took my place And gave himself In love he took my place The scriptures that was put in my mind as we were doing the fair ministry, and as I was memorizing it in the past couple of weeks was Psalm 32.
[11:31] And so I thought I would share that with you all as it talks about what God has really done for us in giving us the gift of salvation. Psalm 32. Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
[11:45] Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord impudeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile. When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.
[11:56] For day and night my hand was heavy upon me. My moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah. I acknowledge my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid.
[12:07] I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord, and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah. For this shall everyone that is godly pray unto thee, in a time when thou mayest be found.
[12:20] Surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him. Thou art my hiding place. Thou shalt preserve me from trouble. Thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance.
[12:31] Selah. I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go. I will guide thee with mine eye. Be ye not as the horse or as the mule, which have no understanding, whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.
[12:49] Many sorrows shall beat the wicked, but he that trusteth in the Lord, mercy shall compass him about. Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye righteous, and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
[13:01] Son terity. We're going to sing Amazing Grace for you, and please sing along if you would like.
[13:41] And then we're going to read a couple of scriptures, and then I teach a homeschool worship dance class at a local co-op that we go to. And so none of the other girls come today, so I'm going to be dancing with them, but it's usually just them.
[13:55] All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me.
[14:22] I once was lost, but now am found Was blind, but now I see T'was grace that taught my heart to fear And grace my fears relieved How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed When we've been there ten thousand years Bright shining as the sun We've no less days to sing God's praise
[15:28] Than when we first begun And then Shiloh's going to sing, read a couple of scriptures Before this next dance that we do And it's called All Nations Worship Jesus And the theme of it is that we took dance steps from all over the world And put them together as a way to show that one day Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord Philippians 2, 9-11 Therefore God also has highly exalted him And given him the name which is above every name That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow Of those in heaven and those on earth And of those under the earth And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord The glory of God the Father Romans 10, 9-10
[16:31] That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus And believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead You will be saved For the heart one believes unto righteousness And with the mouth confession is made unto salvation God blesses you God bless you God bless you God bless you Thank you.

[33:06] You like orange. Let's see. Redeemed. Redeemed. Here's your card. Let's see. Redeemed says, Delivered, Rescued by Paying a Price or Ransom.

[34:29] Oh, what are you going to win? What are you going to win? Oh, Super Bowl. Pick one out. Does she have one of those? Yeah. Oh, okay. Daisy, you're up.
[34:49] A tape measure. Would you like to pick something else? Okay. We've got these nifty little clips that you can put on your refrigerator.
[35:03] And they'll hold stuff up there. Or a Super Bowl. Or some sunglasses. What looks good? Hmm.
[35:21] Hurry up. All right. Super Bowl. Great. Great. Great. Hi.
[35:35] What's at this booth here? Green. Hi. What do you have at this booth? Well, we have a quiz. Take a quiz.
[35:46] Win a prize. Oh, okay. That's pretty cool. I'm pretty smart. Well, this is just a one-question quiz. Oh, I should ace it now. Yeah, you should get this. Okay. All right. Here's the question.
[35:57] Okay. How do I get into heaven? Yeah. How do you get to heaven? Now, there's some things here. And you take a look at each one of these things. And if you think doing these things will get you to heaven, then I want you to flip the switch to yes.
[36:11] But if you think, no, that's not going to get me to heaven, you flip the switch to no. If your answer's correct, it'll light up. Okay. You ready? Okay. All right.
[36:21] Let's see. Live a good life. Well, I think that's probably, yeah, I think probably the first question. Yes, that'll get me to heaven. Well, it didn't light up.
[36:33] Is it working? Yeah, but you know what? Maybe that's not the right answer. Oh, that could be. Gosh, I would think that if you live a good life, that would get me into heaven. That's what I always thought.
[36:44] Yeah, well, try again. Okay. Try to keep the Ten Commandments. Now, you know what those are like. Don't lie. Don't steal. Don't kill anybody. Yep. I've heard of those before. Okay.
[36:56] I would say that's probably, yes. That must be how I get into heaven then. Well, it still didn't light up. Gosh. I thought I was a pretty smart girl, but. Well.
[37:07] Okay. Let me see. Go to church regularly. Well, I think that's probably what you should do, but I don't know if that makes you go to heaven. I'm going to say no.
[37:17] Ah. I got one right. Yeah. All right. Okay. Give to the poor. Well. I think that's a good thing too, but I don't know if that would get me into heaven because you can give to poor people and be a rotten person anyway.
[37:29] So. Mm. So I'm going to say no. Oh, I got another one right. Yeah. 50-50 here. Turn away from your sins. You know, like you're never, ever going to do anything bad ever again.
[37:41] Oh, gosh. That's not going to happen. I mean, I try, but. Yeah. I don't think I'm ever going to sin again. Yeah. I know. That's a tough one. So I'm going to say no.
[37:53] Okay. Yeah. Pray daily. Well, I know there's lots of people that pray daily, but I don't know. Some of them aren't some good people there, so I don't know if that's going to get them into heaven.
[38:08] So I'm going to say no. Oh, good. I got it right. Be water baptized. Oh, now, I remember my great aunt Thelma said that she was going to get baptized and then she was going to go to heaven, so I'm going to say yes.
[38:29] Well, that's not right. Well, gosh, then, okay, so you get to heaven by what? Well, actually, we kind of tricked you because the answer's not really on here.
[38:41] Okay. Yeah. How do you get into heaven then? Well, you know who God is, right? Yeah. Well, I think so. Well, do you know who Jesus is?
[38:56] Well, I know he was a really good man in the Bible, and I don't know a whole lot other. Oh, wow. Jesus is God's son. Okay. Okay. And, you know, God sent Jesus to earth, and he lived a perfect life.
[39:11] He never sinned. He never did anything wrong. And you know what? What? Remember the story about they put him on the cross and killed him? Yeah, yeah, I heard about that. Well, you know what?
[39:21] When he was on that cross dying, you know what God did? What? God took all my sins, all the bad things I've ever done, and all the bad things you've ever done, and all the bad things they've ever done.
[39:34] He took them all and put them right on Jesus. And he punished Jesus for all the bad things we've ever, ever done. And you know why he did that?
[39:45] No. Why did he do that? Well, because God is what you'd call a just God. You know? You have to, he has to do what is right. And so somebody's got to pay for our sin.
[39:58] And so Jesus said, Father, I'll do that. I'll go pay for their sin. And God put all our bad things on Jesus. And you know what God needs for us to do?
[40:09] What? Well, it's right here on this little card. It says, ask God to forgive you for your sins. You've got to recognize that you're a sinner. Well, I know that.
[40:19] I don't have any problem with knowing that. And then you've got to believe that Jesus died. He was buried. And he rose from the dead on the third day. And he paid the price for your sins.
[40:31] And it says, you just ask God to, you acknowledge that to God and tell him you want him in your life. And you want him to run your life. And that's all you have to do.
[40:42] And you know what? I'm going to give you one of these little books. I want you to think about that. Okay? Yeah, that's something I've never thought about before. Yeah. Yeah, you could, tonight maybe, you know, when you're home, maybe like when you go to bed, you know, get this little book out.
[40:56] It's not very long. It's not really hard. It just kind of explains it again. And that will help you understand how to get to heaven. Do you have a CD player?
[41:08] Yes, I do. Oh, well, we have some CDs here. And this is kind of gives you some information. They're only about three minutes long, each one. It's about connecting with God. And so that will be something to listen to in your car or, you know, just short little things.
[41:24] Maybe you don't need to understand some of this a little bit more. I'm interested because, you know, I've gone to church, you know, when I was a kid and everything. But then we quit going. And so, you know, I kind of really don't remember a whole lot.
[41:36] Okay. Well, that will help you out. Okay. That will help you out. We also have these bracelets. Do you? And they change colors once you put them on. Okay. Do you want to pick one out?
[41:47] There's one here. It's a sealed. You love it. Accepted. How about this one, forgiven? I like that. That's a good one. There's a card that goes with it.
[41:57] Okay. Forgiven. To have a debt or an offense or a flaw or a mistake excused. And you take this and the information about our church is on the back.
[42:09] If you want to take a look. Yeah. At that. And if you want to check out our website. Oh, do you have an iPhone? Yeah, I do. Oh, well, you know what? We're having a drawing.
[42:20] We draw three every evening. And you can fill that out there. Okay. That information. And put it in our jar. And if your name gets picked, then we'll contact you and call you about winning your iPhone.
[42:36] And if you have a prayer request, put that on there. I saw that. I did. Yeah. I wrote a prayer request down. Because we would like to pray for you. And also, there were some other things on there I checked off. Yeah.
[42:46] Like maybe about learning about finances or heaven or hell or things like that. I want to know more information. So, I checked those off, too. Okay. So, will somebody be contacting me about that? Yes. Someone will contact you.
[42:57] Okay. However you, whether it was your phone or email or whatever. Okay. Okay. Okay. That's great. Hey, would you like to spin our wheel and win a prize? Sure. That's what brought me over here. Yeah. I wanted to win a prize. Yeah. Okay.
[43:08] Oh, before you do that, do you have a Bible? Gosh. I might have one in the attic. Well, you know what? We've got a Bible right here for you. If you'd like to have a Bible, you can take this with you.
[43:20] Yeah. Then I can look up the things that you guys talk about in here and see if they're really true. And that's what we want you to do. Don't believe what I say. Okay. You know, just believe what God says in His Word.
[43:32] Right. Okay. That's right. Yeah. Okay. Okay. I'm going to spin that wheel and see what I win. Okay. Kind of like wheel fortune. Yeah. Sunglasses.
[43:46] Sunglasses. All right. Pick out whatever color you'd like. Okay. Oh, I'll pick out red. That's cool. Oh, and it says something on here. Yeah. Let me see. It says, for we walk by faith, not by sight.
[44:00] Second Corinthians 5-7. Actually, it says to core 5-7. Yeah. That's right. Okay.
[44:13] Well, thank you. All right. Well, thanks for stopping by our booth. Thanks for having me. Tell your friends to come by. I will. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Am I still on?
[44:31] Okay. This is kind of a reenactment of what we were doing at the fair all that time. Just to let you know, we were a little concerned, you know, maybe nobody would come to our booth and that kind of thing.
[44:45] And as you can see, we have this nice big sign here. Ed Patton and his sons made this for us. Play a game, win a prize. We have these shirts.
[44:56] And then especially with the spinning wheel, people were really, you know, they were like, what? Curious. What's this about? And so we didn't have any trouble getting people to come up to our booth.
[45:08] And we really, if we didn't have three people working at one time, if it was just two, it was hard. Because we had kids running up wanting to spin the wheel and they liked the colorful bracelets and so forth.
[45:22] So that's what kind of drew people up. But we honestly and truly had lots of people who really wanted to know. And the thing that I noticed the most were the teenagers when they would come.
[45:39] And they'd go, they'd flip a switch, you know, like live a good life. And they would say, they'd flip it to yes. And it didn't light up. And they'd go, what? And it would be over and over.
[45:52] They were clueless. They just thought they had to do, do, do to get to heaven. And we would explain it to every one of them. And give them all the information they were willing to take.
[46:06] And we didn't really expect anybody to go, oh, you know, yeah, I want to be saved right now. I think that happened twice. We did have two people saved that we know of.
[46:16] But lots of people were really, really questioning. And the little paper that we filled out here, we had, they could check off if they had questions about spiritual matters, about our church, about money matters, about heaven or hell, or about anything else.
[46:44] And I was shocked how many people had questions about heaven and hell and spiritual matters that they marked off there. And we had lots of prayer requests, lots of prayer requests for the Christians who came up.
[47:00] There were a lot of prayer requests for other family members who maybe didn't know the Lord, or for people who were ill, or just searching. And there was one little guy that I saw.
[47:13] I would guess he was 10 or 11. And he really, he just looked to me like he was really, really, really, really searching. And I think, you know, for the fairy, you get the younger, you get the kids, and that's the age when they've been bombarded with so much stuff, and they just want to know, how can I be okay?
[47:41] This was just a great thing. I also want you to know, I was a little concerned, too, like somebody's going to go, well, in 2 Corinthians it says, you know, and I'm going to be going, deer in headlights, deer in headlights.
[47:56] But that never happened. You know, a good thing and a bad thing is they believed what you said. Some of them didn't question. But mostly they just came, they came to get a prize, but they got information.
[48:13] So I don't know that anybody ever got backed into a corner that they didn't know what to say or do. It was just, and it was fun.
[48:23] We had a great time. And other people came up and said, thanks for what you're doing here. So all of this to ask you, whoever could possibly be interested, we could really use more people next year at the fair.
[48:40] And it's really not that hard, and you're not going to get backed into a corner to try and explain something that, oh, I'm not sure. I know I heard that, but that's not going to happen.
[48:52] At least it never did this year. So I had a great time at it. Marsha Fries, where are you? She's not coming up. Okay. That's my huge chicken belly.
[49:04] Okay. Okay. I want to give a little testimony, too, about the fair. I was kind of scared about doing this. I mean, I'm a talker.
[49:16] You guys who know me know that. But, you know, getting up and just witnessing to people, it's easier one-on-one with me. But in a situation like this, it just, I didn't know how I would do and how I would feel.
[49:31] But the spinner and this big sign are really what we wanted to attract people. And we purposely didn't put Grace Bible Church on here because we didn't want people to see, oh, that's church saying I don't want to go over there.
[49:48] You know, so they did get what they came for, but they also got more because we gave them information that's going to last them for eternity if they use it.
[49:59] So, you know, it was very easy because you didn't have to say, hey, come on over here. You know, like somebody's trying to get you in a store you don't want to go into or anything. There were so many people and our booth was so inviting that we had so many people at our booth almost all the time that even when you look down the corridor and you could see all these booths of everybody, everybody was at our booth.
[50:28] And it was so surprising to me because they were drawn by the spinner. And when kids hear that and they're like, oh, oh, mom, let's go over there.
[50:39] So the kids bring their parents because the kids aren't going to be walking around, hopefully, by themselves at the fair. So we witnessed to so many people. And I've got statistics I'll give you in a minute of how many people that we talked to.
[50:55] And you would really be shocked. And let me see if there was anything else. Oh, go ahead. Orange. One thing I'd forgotten about.
[51:08] A couple of different times the folks from TAC, the caregivers, brought some of the special need folks. And as you know, Mike and I both worked at Town & Country.
[51:19] The folks that Mike had had in his classroom, they're adults now. And we got to see them. And they were pretty excited because they got to spin and they got a prize and all of that.
[51:34] But most of all, that way we got to witness to the caregivers. So it just drew all kinds of people. It was really a good time.
[51:44] My family and I participated in the fair ministry several times. And I just wanted to share some of the things that stood out to me from the time when we were sharing with the people.
[51:56] It was really sobering to see how many people did not understand anything about spiritual matters. Like, we had so many kids, teenagers, who asked what sin was.
[52:08] And we had to explain that. And yet, that was really encouraging, though, that we were able to have this way that we could share without it being, now everyone, listen up, and we're going to preach to you.
[52:22] And it was a way that was so non-intimidating to the people that were coming and to us. And so I feel like it was a really neat and very needed ministry. Yes, some of it was a little difficult, just stepping out of comfort zones and, you know, how is this going to work?
[52:38] But we learned really fast. And one of the best things was that we were able to get people to think about eternity. And that was what we were there for, to get them to think, oh, you know, I never really thought about this before.
[52:51] Or I guess I just thought God just forgave everybody. Or some of those different things. And just that we were able to give them some literature if they were open to that.
[53:02] And get them to think about their eternity. And maybe reconsider some of the things that they had already thought about that. So I'm very thankful that I was able to do it with my family and with the church.
[53:16] And I think it was a very needed ministry. And so thanks to everyone who participated in it. One other thing that she reminded me of is I asked Dad when we were starting this whole thing and trying to decide what to have here and how to have this all set up.
[53:35] And I asked him, I said, what is your main objective with this booth? What is it that you want to accomplish? Because that's how we decide how to do all this. And he said, my main objective isn't to get people saved.
[53:49] That would be wonderful if they do, if you bring someone to Christ. But that's really not what they're there for. They're not there coming to the fair to get religion is what they would think about.
[54:02] Okay. So he says, what I really want is for you to just be able to give them something to think about that they hadn't thought about before. And so when people would come up and they would look at the question and they'd never thought about that before.
[54:19] And I said, don't worry. Most people don't think about it. You don't think about heaven and hell or where am I going to go when I die unless there's just been a tragic accident that you know of someone who was in that or a death in the family or you go to a funeral of someone unexpected.
[54:36] And then you start thinking, gosh, what if that were me? What would happen to me when I die? Where am I going to go? And so those times when we had those questions with them and we gave them the pamphlet, they really didn't make a decision, but they stood there and they said, you know, that's really something that I will think about.
[55:00] And I know one little girl, she was probably 13. And a lot of kids would keep coming back because they wanted another prize.
[55:10] Like they'd come back the next day. Maybe they were there all week long at the fair because they were showing an animal or something. But they would bring their friends. They'd say, come here, come here. You've got to come over to this one booth.
[55:21] They give you a prize and you take a test. It's really cool. And they would come over with them and you could see them going, they're all down. Yeah. And so you knew who had been there before, but they still heard the plan of salvation again.
[55:37] And the person who brought them there. So the kids would keep coming back and bringing other kids and we'd let them go ahead and spin the wheel again. And we'd ask, they'd say, I want to do it again.
[55:48] And they'd want to take the quiz again, even though they had already done it, even though they knew all the answers were no. They wanted to do it again and see if they get it right this time. And so they knew to press them all no, but then we would quiz them a little bit more and say, no.
[56:03] So you, I know you were here yesterday. So do you remember how it is that you do get to heaven? And we'd let them repeat that back to us. And sometimes they would, you know, be confused a little bit because they're kids and they're maybe we're half listening, you know, waiting on the prize, you know, the first time.
[56:22] But then they hear it again and they hear it again. And it just reinforces that. So that made it really fun. But we just felt like the whole time we were just planting seeds and somebody else can do the watering.
[56:37] And, you know, I'm excited to see how many of these people that we'll see in heaven. And they'll say, you know, you planted a seed for me when I was at the fair. And I'm thinking we will have bodies like Adam and have total recollection and say, yeah, I remember you.
[56:52] You said this, you know. But that's just really cool of how we were able to talk to people and just plant those seeds. I wanted to give you some statistics that we have. I added up everything.
[57:03] It was a little bit difficult to exactly know how many people that we spoke to because we didn't do any kind of account. But we know how many of the bracelets we have or ordered.
[57:15] We know how many of all the different things that we had. And we know how many are left. But we also gave everybody who we spoke to one of the bracelets and one of the cards that corresponds with that bracelet.
[57:30] And we gave each one a tract. And the Bibles we really didn't give out too much. We probably just gave out a few because if somebody sounded like they really wanted to know more and they were really interested, not only did we give them the CDs, some people didn't have a CD player, but then, you know, we'd have an opportunity to give them the Bible.
[57:48] And sometimes we would ask them if they had one and they'd say, yeah, I've got one. And so, you know, we would just go on to the next thing. But we had 121 responses of people on the slips saying that they wanted more information about something, besides all the people who filled out slips just to get the iPod or the iPhone case.
[58:10] So some of them just put their name and phone number and they were just hoping to win. And then some of those won. But then we had 121 different responses. And some of those were multiple. Somebody would say, yes, I want to know more about Heaven and Hell and Grace Bible Church and Spiritual Matters.
[58:24] So they'd check off three things. So of those, we had 26 people who wanted to know more about Grace. And we have given a list of five people who had volunteered to follow up with all these people.
[58:40] So those people that have asked for a prayer request or asked for us to pray for them. What is that? It says.
[58:53] Oh, okay. Sorry. So out of the 26 or out of all the people, 26 people had said that they wanted more information about Grace. Twelve people wanted more information about Spiritual Matters.
[59:05] Eleven with Money Matters. Eighteen wanted to know more about Heaven and Hell. And 54 people asked that we pray for something specific for them in their life.
[59:16] And so these people of the congregation who have volunteered to pray for these people, they were each given a list of five people and what their prayer request was. And if they wanted more information about those things, and then we're following up with each one and giving them that and praying with them over the phone.
[59:33] And so that's been a real blessing to me to be able to see people are interested and we're kind of getting through to some people. We figured, I figured up with the amount of things that we gave away, not duplicating with the bracelets.
[59:51] Everybody got those. And then the kids and the adults got a prize. We talked to over 3,100 people. So that many seeds were planted.
[60:02] And I want to thank everyone who gave their time and who volunteered to be there. And I asked everybody to wear your T-shirts today. I hope everybody got the word.
[60:14] But would you all stand up, please? Everybody who had anything to do with the fair at all, please stand up and be recognized. Come on, those in the back. I see some more. Thank you.
[60:24] Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much. We couldn't have done without all of you guys because it, many hands. How's the singer?
[60:36] Nick Lightwork? Yes. So we plan to do this again next year with Champaign County Fair. And the reason why we decided not to do Clark County next year is because it's a lot of the same people will go because they'll have animals and everything.
[60:54] So, and we would still like to reach them too. But there's the Champaign County people that haven't seen this before. So we thought we would go to Champaign County next.
[61:05] And when she said we were busy, we had the booth was actually about this long. It's like about this long. It's 10 foot. And we had two of these boards. So we had two people at the same time talking to people.
[61:18] And we'd have people lined up waiting for their turn. And so what's cool too is even though it wasn't their turn, they might hear that message three or four times until they got up there. You know?
[61:29] And every time this person, whether it's Marvis and me or whoever was up here, everybody has a little different way of saying it. You just put your own words to it.
[61:40] And so it made it very comfortable. And I loved it when I was always with somebody here because I got new things to say. I'm like, oh, yeah, I love how she said that. That was great.
[61:51] I'm going to have to remember that. So, you know, you learn from each other and it makes you more and more comfortable in witnessing to people. And it was just a great experience.
[62:03] I'm excited about doing it next year. So next year, since we had two of the boards, we're still going to have two next year, but we're going to get a double wide booth so that we have a lot more space and we won't be kind of tripping over each other in the back, but we had cases of all these prizes down below.
[62:23] So we had 1,000 Super Bowls. We had 500 pairs of sunglasses. We had these little tattoos that were metallic that has the Jesus fish on it and had a Bible verse in it, and it said peace or love or something like that.
[62:39] And then we had, for the adults, we had the tape measures and the magnetic clip. And usually if the kids won one of those, we would say, well, do you want to spin again and get something that's a kid prize?
[62:50] And it just would attract more attention. So the noise of that, you know, we weren't annoyed by it because you're always talking to somebody anyway. So you're involved in that. And I remember Kyle Kaler had his booth way down the way, and he kept looking down, and he said, I have done this fair for nine years, and I have never seen so many people at one booth all the time.
[63:16] You guys have a fantastic booth. So thank you, Lord. All right. The praise and glory goes to God.
[63:27] So are there any questions that anybody has about the fair? And you can feel free to ask anybody who has a fair T-shirt on. They can answer any questions for you.
[63:37] But does anybody have any right now? No? Okay. We are going to sing hymn number 772, When We All Get to Heaven.
[63:57] Yeah. Yeah. Please stand. And we'll sing that song. And let's see what time it is.
[64:08] Oh, goodness. And, yeah. And Rachel Craig is going to close us out after the hymn with a doxology. Green and Orange.
[64:30] Sing the contrast of our Jesus.
[64:46] Sing his mercy and his grace. In the nations' bright and blessedness, He'll prepare for us a place.
[64:56] When we all get to heaven, What a day of rejoicing that will be. When we all see Jesus, We'll sing and shout the things of faith.
[65:12] While we walk the pilgrim pathway, Clouds will occur and spread the sky. And when traveling days are over, God, a shadow, not a sigh.
[65:29] When we all get to heaven, What a day of rejoicing that will be. When we all see Jesus, We'll sing and shout the victory.
[65:45] Let us then be true and faithful, Trusting, singing every day. Just one glimpse of Him in glory, Will the joys of love repay.
[65:59] When we all get to heaven, What a day of rejoicing that will be. When we all see Jesus, We'll sing and shout the victory.
[66:17] One word to the prize we inform us, Soon his ability will be heard. Soon the pearly gates will open, We shall transfer the streets of gold.
[66:33] When we all get to heaven, What a day of rejoicing that will be. When we all see Jesus, We'll sing and shout the victory.
[66:58] Into the anxiety. The сорcraft parcels in the sun that shall отдел us over the of us here, Or some access to glory.
[67:19] Thank you.
