Cowboy Country Festival
Howdy, Y’all!
This past week, we attended the Cowboy Country Festival in Brooksville, Florida. The event was sponsored by our church, Stable Faith Cowboy Church. Now isn’t that a great name for a cowboy church? Stable Faith. Mike and I have been attending this church since moving to our home in Inverness.
We like it there. Not simply because it is a Cowboy Church, complete with all the western flair…including a lot of cowboy boot clad members, wagon wheels, saddles and such. No, we like the church because it is a place where the Gospel…Good News…of Jesus Christ is taught. Shared. Breathed.
So, when our church sponsored a Cowboy Festival for the community, we donned our cowpoke clothes and attended. There were vendors, events, and activities for everyone.

Children could get their faces painted, learn to rope a steer, participate in a Stick Pony barrel race, and sit on Santa’s lap.
Okay, adults could visit Santa as well.

| I wonder what Mike asked Santa. |
There were hayrides, a cornhole tournament, a tractor expo…well, you get the idea.
Why would a church do this? Because the church isn’t a building. A church isn’t built of brick and mortar or planks of wood. The church is made of people. Believers. We are not simply a “come to us” church. We are part of a community. And Stable Faith Cowboy Church looks for ways to invite the community to be a part of our church family.
