Outdoor Worship

May 25, 2008

 

What a beautiful day for an outdoor worship service!!

Thanks to the RMS (Men's club) for setting up chairs, tents, tables. Thanks to the altar guild members who brought the communion elements, flowers, candles, and outdoor altar all outside!!

Bright sunshine, no rain -- the only unplanned for element was the wind!! Lots of wind!! Lots of wind!!

Pastor Tony & Myrna study the crowd -- - making sure everything is ready before the service begins.
