My mother has worn culottes for many years at home, to work in the yard or around the house. She did not wear them out to stores, etc. She wears the kind with the pleat in the front and back. Koret , Napa Valley, and I think Vanity Fair still put them in the department stores.

We don't have quite that much wild pot growing in Arizona.

It was funny because I had no idea what the plants were until several pointed them out.

Some churches are having prayer revivals and reaching a lost and dying world.

I wish I had time to post all the things that have happened at our church in the last 30 days... I will make time to post a few things, then I have to go cook supper.

A man who was raised catholic has been faithful in attendance at our church services for several months now. He wasn't pushed into anything. People reached out to him, and he was just made to feel welcome, so he kept attending. He went to the altar with everyone else to pray, and did the rosary. No one condemned him for how he prayed, they just prayed beside him. He has been involved in EVERY service, EVERY outreach activity, etc since he started attending. A few weeks ago, he asked the pastor for a home Bible Study, because there were some things he didn't understand. Again, he wasn't Pushed into anything. He just couldn't understand about why being baptized was important. He was held up in prayer, given time to study the Bible on his own. He came to the pastor last week, and said I see where I need to be baptized in Jesus name... it was done last Sunday. He has also been filled with the Holy Ghost--with the evidence of speaking in tongues. Now, God will finish the work which he has begun in this man. I'm sure he will turn out to be one of the most on fire members in our church. We have already seen how faithful he wants to be----even BEFORE he was filled with the Holy Ghost.

A pentecostal preacher who had been discouraged and quit church/gave up his ministry-- had daughter who visited our church about a month ago for a youth service. Two services later, she was filled with the Holy Ghost. She went home that Tuesday night, and told her dad. He just broke down into tears. Wednesday night, she came back to church-- and she was so excited... Her dad had told her that everything he'd taught her as a little girl WAS true.... and that he would be attending church with her on Sunday. He honored his promise-- and he came, along with the rest of the family. He was refilled with the Holy Ghost at that service, and our church has a whole new family.

A few months ago, there was a death of a man who's family had just recently come to our church. Due to the support that our church had given to his family during that time-- the rest of his grown children, and all of their families have come to our church. They fill up almost two whole rows of seats.

We have children from the bus ministry receiving the Holy Ghost in our Kids Church services.

Sunday's service was just beyond being described.... I don't even know if there is an accurate count on how many people received the Holy Ghost.

People are being restored, Lives are being changed.


This weekend is family weekend-- where it's a community outreach-- People can bring their tents, campers or whatever they need (linens, etc) to stay in the dorms on the campground. Last year was the first time we'd done it, and had amazing results. This year is only going to be better--- and I can't wait to see what God is gonna do!


Oh wait, this thread was about something else.. Pardon my interruption. Back to your regularly scheduled thread.

Totally awesome!

It is so wonderful to know there are many Pastors out there with a true vision to see the work of God done.

Looked at your church website, y'all are certainly on the grow!!

I had culottes in the 60's.
Didn't need them for school, wore the required gymsuit.
And for classes---------everyone wore dresses.

At camp someone from Calif preached to all of us girls and so we went home and began to wear culottes for casual attire. (not from the pulpit...just a relative of one of the campers from the state of CA)
As I recall, it lasted about a year.

I don't wear culottes but I own a couple. You never know when you'll need a culotte for a church activity.

In the 70's and 80's my daughters wore culottes. I was able to buy them but I did have a pattern to sew them also.

Approx 1980, an untracon church did allow them, but the pastor's wife had to see the pattern and approve before you could sew it up.

Many of the culottes in the 60's looked like a skirt. Unless you took huge steps it hung like a skirt, had fullness of a skirt and was no doubt classified as a skirt in stores. In fact it went by the name "split skirt" not culotte....
