7th Annual - Carolina vs. Clemson Day

It happened again in 2010... Carolina vs. Clemson Day at Emmanuel Baptist Church!
  • There were tailgate parties at 9:30am on the parking lots. Tents were setup, tailgates were down, breakfast foods were abundant, and footballs were being tossed back and forth.
  • There was a sea of orange on one side of the church and a sea of garnet on the other. It was a church division for the right reasons and all in fun.
  • There were decorations, streamers, banners, balloons, painted faces, and more.
  • There was Adrian Despres, the chaplain for the Carolina Gamecocks!
  • There were 600+ people present!
  • There was an amazing Spirit-filled message about Moses lifting up the serpent in the wilderness and all who looked to it were healed.
  • There were 8 people who looked to Jesus and found healing for their souls.
  • There were more who recommitted themselves back to God.

Carolina vs. Clemson Day is just a tool to give people an excuse to invite their friends to church. Did you? Was an eternal destiny changed because of your effort? I'm still rejoicing with those who filled pews with family, friends, and co-workers. I'm thanking God for the lady who sent us the names of 20+ people she and her husband wanted to invite and wanted us to pray for. I'm still thanking God for what He is doing through Emmanuel Baptist Church!
