The Collins Life Group initiated “Always a Time to Serve” in July and August to piggy-back off of our “Time to Serve” events that we always plan in December. A few Saturdays ago, we had a 3-on-3 Black Top Basketball Tournament. God blessed this event in amazing ways. Many people from the church came out to volunteer and help. The Brighton Estates Homeowner’s Association donated two extra goals to our church because so many people form the neighborhood came out to play ball throughout the year. We had 8 or 10 teams sign up to play in the tournament. Volunteers helped with registration, setting up tents, music, cooking and serving food and it was a day of community celebration. The Montgomery Advertiser (local newspaper) was on hand and created a video (see below). It rained on Saturday so we continued the tournament on Sunday. It rained Sunday too, but about 4:00 pm the rain stopped and all of the teams came back including the old-timers (so they called themselves) who won all of their games. We set up tables and had hot dogs on the lawn Sunday and many expressed interested in growing closer in their walk with the Lord.
