Country Gospel at the Big Barn

With professional cowboys, ropers and wranglers filling our county for the annual Lynden Rodeo this weekend, comes Pastor Coy and Donna Huffman, also traveling the rodeo circuit, spreading the gospel. Tonight's Cowboy Church worship service was held in the Big Barn at Roger and Rosemary Gustafson's Sonshine Ranch located at 1713 Trigg Road in Ferndale, Washington and included special cowboy gospel music by Dwayne Williams, the Texas Teddy Bear. A preview of his music and several albums are available through his website, so do check it out.

After the service, we enjoyed an old-fashioned church social of root beer floats. That spin-cycle just beginning to subside in my tummy forced me to pass, but the floats that Kriss and Sally had sure looked yummy. Here, the reverend Coy Huffman helps dish up.

And all seem to enjoy.

The message for me tonight seemed most appropriate - it is okay to go there - after all, tomorrow I go . . .
