Our annual Outdoor Worship Service took place this morning without the storms that were predicted earlier in the week.
Most sat UNDER the tents. A few chose to sit in the sun.
There were games and water balloons to throw...
...and of course, food!

Yummy looking potatoes...I can see how you went home with empty dishes. Next Sunday our Church will have their service in the park. A great way to worship...in the fresh air.
ReplyDeleteSitting in the sun? My, my. Glad it's cooler there than here! :)
ReplyDeleteYour photos are so sweet, and I'll be looking up your recipes. So much fun when you bring back home empty containers, isn't it?
My dad would have LOVED those cream cheese scalloped potatoes. Oh I love outdoor services. Here in Oregon, there's a few churches in my area that have services outdoors all summer long because of the weather.. They have tents set up...and very often will have some sort of grilling going on afterwards to people can eat and be happy!!! Oh it's wonderful!!! I haven't been to an outdoor service in awhile. It's nice to be together with fellow believers...worshiping, studying the Bible and eating good food. Your photos are great. I think my favorite was the one of the young man and woman. The young woman had a huge thick Bible on her lap...and it looked worn and well-used :) :) Love that!!! Have a great week. Love and hugs from Oregon, Heather :)
ReplyDeleteOh I love this Rebecca! We do the same every year. This year we are having it a bit later because of the heat. Those potatoes sound delicious!!! Love Di ♥
ReplyDeleteOh, what a special day you've had...the potatoes sound wonderful!!! And, you looked so good in your previous post!! I love the purse!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm certainly going to try those yummy-sounding potatoes - and I emailed the recipe to my DIL!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of outdoor worship! I noticed that your congregation has quite a few young adults and children! That's a good thing!
the crock pot recipe looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteeveryone loves a good scalloped potato
recipe.
how fun to have a service outside!
What a lovely way to worship! Where I grew up we used to have an occasional mass outside and I always loved it...it just feels so appropriate to worship God in his creation!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week!
Thanks for coming by for a visit and entering my give away. I'd be under the tent for worship. We've had ours in the park with most sitting under roof where the picnic tables usually are. I'd love to have some of those potatoes right now. ♥♫
ReplyDeleteGlenda, We ARE blessed with many young families & lots of children!
ReplyDeleteMarilyn, Thank YOU for returning my visit! Yes, I was under the tent, too. Later we set up tables under the tent for the picnic...
Colleen, Of course it's appropriate to worship God ANYwhere, but it's especially "easy" outdoors, as you said.
All the Rest of You - Wish I could have shared the casserole & the lovely day with each of you! Thanks for sharing it with me via your comments. Have a productive and happy week.
