Annual Red Oak Labor Day Picnic

Today was the annual Labor Day picnic for our church. Some of the families camped here at the park all weekend. We chose not to this year and I was so glad. It was hot and muggy and the love bugs are SO bad right now....they are just swarming everywhere. You'll surely see some on the pictures! :P

Jonas (to the left in the blue) always cooks up a huge pot of boiled peanuts! :) They were yummy as usual!
 And you can see the grill on the right that Lonnie cooks chicken BBQ on....it's an annual thing as well! :)


Getting ready to eat....


See any lovebugs??


Miss Ayers~


Paul and Marilu Wesslehoeft with their little grand-baby, Maris.

Which Angry Bird is YOUR favorite?? :)


Didn't get many pictures. :P  
We had a pretty big group this year!! It was good to see some people that used to attend our church who came back to visit with us today!!

Secret Sister's Garden Party

Every February our church ladies have a "Secret Sister Revealing Party".  We find out who had our name for the previous year. Some ladies don't participate but are still invited to the party. Those who want to participate again, enter their name, and then draw one name and that person is your "secret sister" for a year. You are supposed to pray for them through the year and giving gifts is optional.

Angie and Susan planned the event this year. They planned a "Garden Party" at Angie's house, but as the day got closer, the weather looked less and less desirable. They were forecasting rain, wind and severe t-storms. So the party was indoors instead!

Tables set up for the 20 some ladies.


Visiting before the meal was ready.


We had salad, bread sticks and yummy broccoli soup.
Angie & Susan served the soup and drinks.


I didn't get a pic of the dessert table, but we had delicious chocolate cake with snickers in the icing, chocolate dipped strawberries and fruit pizza.

Tamara and Maria ate on the back porch.



Pretty flowers on each table~


Jasmine <3 ~enjoying the sweets! 


I had my friend Yolie's name.....and turns out she had mine! :)

She gave me a beautiful embroidered towel/washcloth set, a pretty pink scarf and some cake decorating tools! :) Tamara and I are going to try our hand at cake decorating. We've been doing some research about using fondant, but I think we will start with icing and see how that goes, first! :)

Looking forward to a not-so-busy week. Tomorrow we have another Chemistry co-op class, and Saturday our church is going on a 16 mile bike hike in Tallahassee. And then Sunday a group of us ladies from church, and a few from GA, are going into the women's prison for a chapel service. I need to finalize what I am going to share. We also have to sing a few songs. The inmates already requested "Jesus Signed my Pardon". We sang that last time and many had never heard it before and loved it! :)

"The Faces of Christmas" play

Carol Yoder, Yolie, Angie and a few other ladies planned and organized a Christmas Play by the children 2 weeks before Christmas.

"The Faces of Christmas"

Danny was a wiseman.


Silas was also a wiseman :)


Luke, the voice of God, handed out the programs.


Order of service....or almost! ;)


Sean the sheep telling the story from a sheep's perspective. 


Mary, Joseph, Baby Jesus, the Shepherds and the Sheep on stage.....singing Silent Night.


Tamara, the star....


Danny the wiseman...


The star, the angels and the wisemen joined the others...


Some tired looking sheep! :)



After a brief intermission, the children came back dressed in their "choir robes" and Heidi led them in some songs they have been practicing Sunday mornings.


~This Little Light of Mine~


It was an enjoyable evening. The children did a great job! It's been so fun watching these children grow up in the last 6 years since we moved here! :)

VBS 2011



Another week of VBS is history! It was such a good week! Our average attendance of kids was around 50. We had some new faces and then a few that have been coming year after year!
It was a hot week, but everyone still had fun!

Registration~



Dan and I were the assembly leaders. We got to do some fun lesson illustrations! :)


Dan wanted to be different, but I told him that God already made him unique....he didn't have to wear a plunger on his head to be unique!! :)
**picture credit goes to Beth Drawbond

Glennys and Jim making sure the class attendance charts match up the first night! :) I loved seeing the older folks involved!!


Jeremy's class hearing the Bible lesson in the pyramid....


...and here are the rest of them! He had the biggest class! :)
Caroline and Jodi were his helpers....


Anslie Y. enjoying watermelon!


Dave's class in the pyramid. We had 3 classes that rotated to the different stations, and then the youngest class (ages 3-4) had their own schedule.


Getting watermelon cut for the next class~


Bear did great with the games for the kids!!


Crafts~




Some of the parents brought their kids and then stayed and visited all evening. :)

Corn hole!!


The little girls love Sam! I love Jenna's face! :)


Miss Alma talking about our eyes before snack time one night.


The double rainbow was just lovely!! One little girl out back at the playground heard some of us talking about it and she said, "And guess what? There's one out front too!!" :) She didn't realize it was the same one!! :)


Ms. JoAnn's class in the pyramid.


Snack time again! Mmmmm!

Filling those jars with hope for a little girl in Haiti who has a disease in her leg bone and many medical bills!!


Tamara, Kiersten and Nathalie~


Our total offering.....we raised over $1,000!! :) That will go a long way in Haiti! I am so proud of the kids. Many brought their entire piggy banks. Tamara got tears in her eyes when I told her how much we raised! I am so glad to see kids in this generation caring about others!!
