Who wants to paint a pumpkin?

Who wants to have some fun? Now do you really want to have some fun or are you just saying that? Okay, then here is what you do. Get about 70 people together with some little pumpkins, some paint, and any variety of other accessories that happen to be in the general area. Well, I don't know about you, but that's what we did yesterday from 10:15am to around 2pm in the Cave on ETSU's campus. We used this time as an outreach to make contact with students and spread the word about the one and only Barn Dance we are having this Saturday night. We weren't exactly sure how everything would work out, how many pumpkins to buy, how many students would actually show up to paint pumpkins. Well, votes are in and apparently college students enjoy painting pumpkins. Take a look at a few of these pics and just look at the pure joy on their faces. We had 80 pumpkins, and I think we brought 10 back with us to the office so I would say that we had a successful turnout with lots of laughs, conversations and new friends. And of course some astounding art. So we brought all of the pumpkins to The Well last night, set them out on a table and let students vote on their favorite, which will be announced Saturday night at the Barn Dance to much applause I am sure.


On to the Barn Dance we go, with much fun to be had by all. We'll have much more to share after Saturday. Thanks for prayer, encouragement and helping enable us to paint pumpkins with students.

for His glory,
Seth
