Well, the movie/pizza night happened. It was much different then we expected, and I don't know if we'll do it again. After cooking all day to get the pizza ready, we weren't able to start on time(which wasn't that big of a deal).
We were hoping for a good turnout, and many people had told us they were planning on coming. However, when the time came, there were over a dozen children, and only 4 adults. No men. There was one man who came early, but since the pizza wasn't ready he left and didn't come back. The movie is not meant for little children, but that was the majority of our audience. I'd love to say we switched the movie to fit the audience, but we didn't. Everyone watched "Fireproof", ate pizza and had pop.
The pizza was a success, and at times I had 7-8 kids in the kitchen "helping" me make pizza. There were a couple of older kids that really helped make the pizzas which was a blessing, but a LOT of chaos. :) Perhaps if(or when?) we do this again, we'll just serve something easy like tea and biscuits. Perhaps we'll just change the movie to something that will fit the audience next time... We'll have to see if the church ladies are interested.
Anyway, thank you for your prayers for the night, and for our family. And thank you for keeping us in your prayers. God bless!
