Dayspring Couples Night 2020

Dayspring Couples Night 2020

March 11, 2020

We all had a blessed time at our church house in Amherst VA for our annual Sweetheart Banquet otherwise known as "Couple's Night". Mark and I have been heading it up for the past several years. We had been having it at Sweet Briar College, but we decided to have it catered by ones of our own choosing and we were so delighted we did! Granted, it was a lot of hard work setting up, coordinating, decorating and making  sure were had all the details in place, but it worked out beautifully! We had a local couple speak on their testimony, and had activities headed up by the Hines and Burkholders. Brenda B's sister Linda, Husband Allen, and mother Sadie catered and it was absolutely wonderful! I was thoroughly pleased with the way the decor turned out and backdrop for photo shoot. You can view the entire album by clicking here. I created/arranged the silk floral accents for lanterns and garlands for backdrop, name place cards and holders and table decor. Madison S. did the awesome lettering for the signs. I had the vision for the decorating and some youth girls from church helped wonderfully for which I am grateful! And a special thanks for the manpower of setting up the tables and chairs and break down and help with cleanup! It was a big load off of me! A shout out to Toni at Boonsboro Kroger, Lynchburg, VA for supplying the wonderful roses! They added a special touch and the ladies loved them! God bless you all as we endeavor to keep walking out our faith and help to equip and inspire the saints to run this race of faith and fight the good fight for the Kingdom of God, in Jesus Christ's Name.
