Church In the Park-Memorial Day Praise, Worship, and Outreach 2017

in #christian-trail8 years ago

The Church I attend, Olivet Baptist Church, likes to hold "Church In The Park" a couple of times a year to do outreach and maybe bring new people to the Church, and get them to know Jesus. It is always a good time having food and fellowship with our Church family, guests that come, and anyone that wants to join us. This year I wanted to make a post to show you how much fun it is when you have a Church home. I hope you enjoy!

20170903_105506_HDR_Film4.jpg


So does the fire!!


20170903_114218_HDR_Film4.jpg


Holy Hot Dogs!!


20170903_112054_HDR_Film4.jpg


Hey where is that little girl running to?


To watch the puppets of course!!


I think this is really cool how they set up the puppet show by the playground for the kids to watch, and any other kids whose parents maybe don't want to join us at church. The puppet show does not push Jesus as you can see as much as just good morals...

After the service it's time to chow down!!


20170903_115842_HDR_Film4.jpg

20170903_120944_HDR_Film4.jpg

Thank you!!

Is that new?
or did you do that in your previous life too?

I enjoyed your post and feel like I am missing out not being part of something like this.

If I was over closer I would come and heckle for non sausage snacks!!

loved the girl being annoyed at you. She'll be even more annoyed now.

No, that is what I go to school for. Digital Media Audio and Cinema. I decided that I wanted to do something cool with the rest of my life and I love music and Movies so why not? I have been broke...why not be broke and happy instead of broke and miserable? Thanks for reading!
