On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday we were in the Mission Conference of Gateway Baptist Church in Cleveland, Georgia. The pastor, Ross Sparks, is the father of Bethany from our Ladies' Ensemble. The guest speaker was unable to make it due to health issues, so Jonathan had the opportunity to preach on Thursday and Friday night. On Friday, we drove up to Knoxville and picked up the girls so they could sing in the evening meeting. We had a wonderful time singing together again, except Bethany was ill and unable to come to the meeting!
The Lord really blessed this meeting and we had a great time of fellowship!

On Saturday morning, we met at the church for a home-cooked breakfast and had a little extra time before we had to leave, so we visited the Cabbage Patch Kids Babyland General Hospital in Cleveland, Georgia.
Saturday was their Appalachain Christmas Event. The decorations were beautiful and we enjoyed seeing all the dolls on display.
