Brandon Fulford didn’t expect to see so many familiar faces at a high school football game. He snapped this picture and sent it to the POP Facebook page, remarking, “We walked in, sat down, and were surrounded by our church family. I turned around and there was Pastor Karl. It was awesome. Not a coincidence! Everyone was waving to my wife who just had major surgery and couldn’t go.”

Have you experienced a similar situation around town?
