Howdy Y'all:
We had a wonderful inaugural service at the Three Nails Cowboy Church!Despite some no-shows (we'll forgive them) we had 49 people in attendance.(50 if you count the infant) That is double what our core group was! The order of worship went off as though it were our one hundredth serviceand not our first. The band was great and the congregational singing wasmusic to the ears. We were especially blessed that on our 
first day webaptized Bobby Pettyjohn; who had just recently accepted the Lord andannounced that fact at our first band practice. The church was neatly decorated by the ladies in cowboy style. There were a number of church membership sign up sheets submitted. The whole service was professionally captured in HD video by David Richterfor posterity's sake. Another encouraging thing (more important than numbers) is that no one, andI mean no one, was in any hurry to leave. I was at the back door to greetthem after "Happy Trails" but everybody stayed and talked. For me that is awonderful sign because you don't hang out somewhere where 
you are notcomfortable or, in the case of a worship service, not feel as though something good has just taken place.
