The picnic at the outdoor YMCA was again a success. There was a large turnout for this yearly event. After service, there was a picnic lunch, games for the children, drawings, swimming and fun for all
The worship service was held in the lodge because of pending inclement weather. We heard uplifting words of encouragement and the Holy Spirit was definitely present.
Hot dogs, hamburgers, and a dish to share brought by everyone made the food plentiful.
The young children played a game where they had to run to a pile of kisses, open one up, hand over the wrapper, chew it up and swallow it, then run back. It was fun watching their faces as they ran back and forth all excited, to collect their prize.
The older children played a variation of the same game. They had to run to the pile and put on an oven mitt. Then pick up the kiss with the mitt and use their teeth to open the candy. After swallowing, they had to run back and tag the next person on their team. It was an exiting relay and a great team building exercise. They all did a great job of encouraging each other and they were all winners.
