Great Tractor Challenge Update and Apology...

For all who are curious, the Blessing of the Seed, Soil, Water, and Tractors service went fantastically well. Across our 5 churches, we had 18 tractors (21 if you count the three young boys who brought their toy tractors along to be blessed)!  There was a tie between Immanuel and Grace for the church that had the most tractors show up...let me just say I'm already excited for next year--and I don't think I'm the only one!

My apology is that, in my ignorance of farming culture, I limited the Great Tractor Challenge to just two companies, Case IH (red) and John Deere (green and yellow). I learned this Sunday that there are many different brands for tractors: New Holland (blue), Cat (yellow), and Ford (also blue), to name a few of the others we had present. I will not make the same mistake next year!
