Daniele Fantoni – Alamosa, Colorado … The Alamosa Seventh-day Adventist Church hosted a bonfire gathering, igniting a sense of unity, and fostering deep connections among community members on June 24.
The event was an inauguration of the new fire pit built behind the church, but was more of a celebration of our community, with a delightful array of food snacks, heartwarming conversations, and memorable moments.
Attendees gathered around to indulge in the simple pleasures of outdoor cooking as the crackling fire provided a warm and mesmerizing backdrop. Marshmallows were roasted, some to perfection and some to charcoal, and delicious treats were toasted, creating an atmosphere of culinary delight that brought people closer together.
However, it was the bonds formed and strengthened that genuinely defined the evening. Friends, both old and new, came together to create memories. The bonfire served as a catalyst, drawing people into its inviting glow and fostering a sense of camaraderie that resonated throughout the gathering.
Pastor Fantoni, lead pastor at Alamosa church, and the organizers extend their sincere gratitude to all who attended, as their presence and genuine enthusiasm lit up the surroundings even more than the flames themselves. Pastor Fantoni reminisced, “This gathering served as a beautiful reminder of the power of community and the joy of coming together. And we hope this will be just the first of many! The bonfire gathering was a testament to the spirit of friendship and togetherness within our church community.”
They eagerly look forward to future opportunities to create more remarkable experiences together.
