Bible School was condensed to a Sunday afternoon starting with lunch in the fellowship hall then meeting up at the North Fork Recreation Area picnic shelter where we split into four groups for scripture discussion from Peter (AKA Layman), singing, craft, and fishing. We finished off the day with a fish dinner in the picnic shelter catered from Grayson’s Landing Restaurant at the park lodge.
A big THANK YOU goes out to Kathy Tabor for organizing this event and also to ALL of the folks who helped by bringing stuff, teaching, singing, working and playing making for a fantastic Church family experience.
Several photos are posted below of the activities.
Here we all are Sunday morning right after the morning worship service in our nice clean matching shirts all cool and dry in the air conditioning we are blessed with.Beverly was there too taking the photo of everybody else.Kathy giving us the plan for the day, it’s nice to have a good leader who knows what’s going on.Any questions? then time for lunch.A quick sack lunch ready and waiting in the fellowship hall thanks to the efforts of some of our members.A sack lunch may seem light, but a sandwich, chips, rice crispy treat and cold tea or water is just what we needed before a hot afternoon at the park.
The next several photos are just of folks having lunch together in the fellowship hall before we departed for North Fork.
