Church Retreat

Yesterday afternoon and evening we had our Church Retreat at Ida's Strawberry Farm.

Before supper, Janessa put one of the twins (Lydia or Lindsay, I can't tell them apart) to sleep.

There were kids in the pond all the time.

Trudy taking Maria for a "walk" before the Relay Race started.

Kris giving Brandon a play-by-play on the race. He is blind and he belongs to Bill and Trudy and the Pickrel family.

One part of the Relay Race in progress.

Swimming and boating on the pond.

They had a water slide going for the young "in spirit".

People gathering for the evening.

Naomi, Ida and Melanie.

Lorene and Walter coming for the evening.

The supper line into the back of the pavilion.

Enjoying the good food! Sloppy Joes, Roasted Corn, Fresh French Fries, Soft Freeze Ice Cream etc. Very good!


In the evening after supper, we gathered in the tent for a service of singing. Some was group singing and some was "special singing".

It got a little chilly by the time the singing was over, but it was a very good and fun afternoon and evening.
