Welcome to Joyful Acres:  Where the Lord is Over All!!

Joyful Acres is a peaceful farm where Granny and Grandpa reside.  Farm life can be tough, so they have a lot of helpers, like John Dear, who runs the tractor; their grandaughter, Faith; Elvis, the faithful hound dog; and Overalls, the scarecrow who looks out and protects the farm. 

Granny and Grandpa are committed Christians who enjoy sharing the love of Jesus and His message to those they meet.  The county fair is coming up soon, so Granny and Grandpa have asked their grandson from the city, Nick, and the children of Murfreesboro, to visit the farm and help them get ready. On their visit, they will learn how Jesus’ words can help them everyday.  They will also learn to square dance, play games, sing songs, and visit the fruit and vegetable stand and the craft barn.

So come on down and visit Granny and Grandpa at Joyful Acres Farm.  Each day we will learn about Jesus and how He wants us to live and grow:

Monday:	Choosing God’s Gift
Tuesday:	Growing God’s Way
Wednesday:	Gathering God’s Children
Thursday:	Building Godly Wisdom
Friday:	Sharing God’s Love

County Fair: Friday, 9:35 - 11:15 a.m.
All week we will prepare for the county fair that will take place on Friday.  We will enjoy contests, games and refreshments.  Join us in celebrating God’s abundant blessings!

“...You alone, whose name is the Lord, are the Most High over all the earth.”  Ps. 83:18

See ya'll there!
