Tonight my wife and I were joined by The Orchard staff and more than 100 volunteers at the Kane County Cougars stadium. We enjoyed great food, a great game (the Cougars won of course), and great fellowship!
We have got to have the coolest volunteers around! Our volunteers are friendly, faithful and just down-right fun to be around! What was really cool is that there were many of them that I see every week but never get to spend time talking to because we're all busy doing what we're called to do on the weekends. We have a diverse group of people from all different backgrounds and it was great to hear some of their stories tonight.
We laughed a lot. We ate a lot. Then we wrapped up the night with an excellent display of fireworks right over our heads in center field - it was fantastic!
To all of you Orchard volunteers - thank you! The Orchard would not be effective at leading people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ without all of you doing what you do every week! Talking with you I can hear how God is moving and doing great things in your lives and in the lives of those you invite to be a part of the Orchard community.
We love you and appreciate you - our faithful volunteers!
Peace.

Grr. So sad we missed it. Last year was our first one and as brand new volunteers then, it really made us feel special to be included. And it helped us connect a little bit more.
It was a great night all around, Katy and I had a blast. It is so cool to be able to work with such a great group of people.
