Comedian Tim Hawkins at Emmanuel

Christian comedian, Tim Hawkins www.timhawkins.net came to EBC last night. Tim was one of the easiest performers that we have ever brought into EBC. He was gracious and didn't ask for anything "unreasonable." I would highly recommend your church hosting an event with Tim. I also want to thank our Student Ministries Pastor, Justin, for the upfront work that he put into hosting Tim. All of Justin's work could be why this event seemed so easy to me. (God has blessed our church with a great team of pastors!)

We had two full shows (4:00 & 7:00pm) and a "meet & greet" supper in between. Chick-fil-A on Irby Street in Florence were a great help in providing the meal. Thank you Mark, Kim, and servers! A special thanks also to WMHK 89.7FM for their partnership, promotion, and presence at the event. Thank you Jeff and Michelle!

It was good to see so many people at EBC just laughing and enjoying themselves. We had people drive all the way from Wilmington, Myrtle Beach, Georgetown, Mount Pleasant, Lexington, and more! As Christians, it is good to be able to laugh and have fun... even in the middle of our struggles. Life is tough and the recession has pummeled some families; but God used Tim Hawkins to bring some relief. Thanks to the MANY volunteers who worked to make this such a success!
