Labor Day Church Picnic

Okay, I know it's been like FOREVER since the blog was updated - forgive me - this thing is like doing the lawn - never seem to have enough time in the day.... but I am stoked to put some fun new pics because Allison is here with us and has been taking some awesome shots.

Here are some from our Church Picnic Day at the Park.  God blessed our day of fellowship BIG TIME and we enjoyed a wonderful day hanging out with the families of Calvary Okinawa.

We had a softball game and some of the families went swimming at the park pool and others enjoyed the day the Lord gave us in sweet fellowship.
Here the McCords are kicking back chatting with Dwight and Maggie.  Dwight is a Sergeant Major in the Marine Corps and Maggie just got a new job at the hospital working with military folks returning from deployment.  Both families have been a huge blessing to the fellowship.

The Newlons and Jodie Harmon hang out and enjoy getting to know each other.
Erin stopped by after her 40 mile bike ride!  Erin is a tri-athlete and bikes, swims and runs some serious mileage every week.  She and her family have been so awesome.  Erin gave her life to Jesus this past Easter and was baptized the following week.  She has continued to grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ.  
Here some of the guys line up and get ready for the softball game.  Okay- why is Glenn raising his hand?  Take a moment and share with us your answer to that question - "Why is Glenn raising his hand?"  This should be fun.  Don't be too mean.
We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day.  It was simply a great day in the Lord.
We are so blessed to live here on Okinawa and have such a awesome church family.   Plus - we're thinking of getting a church softball game going... we got some serious players here. :)

Glen Phipps, feeling intimidated by the other team, thinks up an excuse to leave and not come back....

"can I use the bathroom?"

"Raise your hand if you're wearing the silliest looking hat at the picnic."

I love you Glenn.

Everyone who wants pork chops after the game raise your hand. Love you Glenn, couldn't help it, so put the pork pipe down and step away. Ernest and Nicole
