Support Your Home Team Sunday

For maybe 5 years my church, Brookhaven Wesleyan, has annually had an event called "Round-Up Sunday" with the purpose to round-up friends, family, neighbors, people who do not usually attend church, and bring them on Sunday morning.  With that title, for 4-5 years it has held a western theme.  Many or most come to church in cowboy attire (jeans, flannel, boots, hats, hankies) and there is usually a cheesy western skit at the opening of the service.  Brookhaven has been juggling changes, and this year instead of "Round-Up Sunday" we held "Support Your Home Team Sunday" and many came in jerseys, polos, and t-shirts for their favorite sports team.  The sanctuary was flooded with Colts blue!  Following the service, we had a carry-in dinner (Brookhaven always does this so well) and 3 inflatable games (also an annual tradition.)  Here are a couple pictures from last Sunday afternoon::

Great idea!!

Love your Joseph Addai jersey

Too bad our Colts couldn't win today.

I'm afraid this may be one long and painful season - - - -

The girl in the Addai jersey is actually my twin sister, Jessie. I have a white Harrison jersey, but it wasn't a great picture day for me. ;)


Tonight was a stressing game...
