Balloon Sunday 2013 at Mesa Baptist Church

Today was the final day of this year’s International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta here in Albuquerque, and also the annual balloon Sunday at our church.

On our way to church this morning, we saw TONS of balloons from the last mass ascension of the 2013 Hot Air Balloon Fiesta, and when we arrived, I took these pictures from the church parking lot . . .

After morning service, everyone received a helium balloon with our church name and address on it, and a Gospel tract. We all wrote our names on ours, then went out to release them.

Here are the boys getting ready . . .

And here we are outside, getting ready to release . . .

And here they go, off to who knows where!

I was told that last year, one made it to Windsor, Ontario by the very next day!

As always, I’d love it if you would join me on all of “My Journeys”! Just use the “sign me up” button at the top of the blog, and never miss an update again! 🙂
