The SUN showed up at our SUNRISE service!

 As we drove in to the site of the Sunrise Service

on Sunday this was the scene 

we were met with.

 Beautiful Skies

and very 

squishy ground.

Therefore no one really

wanted to go in the grass

before it was time.

 These two cuties seemed pretty happy 

to be there.

The sun was an issue for picture

taking as you will continue to see.

These guys are all such great friends.

It makes us happy to watch

them learn together.

After all, 

we would certainly look

to them to be the next generation

of the church.

 My Jonathan is such a clown.

He was a bit disappointed it wasn't cooler

so he could really rock the coat...

but as it was he was HOT.

I linked Jonathan's name to a post
I wrote recently called Dyslexia is not a
Sentence to a Life Without Books.
It should be encouraging to those who
have children who struggle with reading.

 What sun????

 I don't see any sun.  

Why are you squinting???

 A wonderful way to start 

the day if you are a kid!

 Apparently this one was noticing

the sun too.

Well, it is a sunrise service after all.

 Molly just ran away from the rays.

But...she came back.

 As did her brother, Caleb.

 Finally, we got it together.

The group grew by one family after 

this picture was taken but I didn't 

disrupt the service to take another photo

with them in it.

 Wow!  Jonathan is a striking figure.

Especially in that coat.

He started a job on Sunday night

that requires us to go out and get him in 

the wee hours of the morning.

I think I shall be more motivated to 

work on him getting his license.

Maybe.

I am such a terrible passenger.

Uggh.

 Apparently Georgia is minding the sun too.

 This side got the best places.

Backs to the sun.

 Dave got the honors of reading the scripture.
Dave's wife Mindy blogs also.
Just click on his name to see one of her blogs.

 I love this photo.

Fathers and Daughters just melt my heart.

 The service was brief but sweet.

We ended with a song

accompanied by Pastor Mike on his

homemade accordian.

I had no idea you could make your

own...but you can!

Then is was back to the church for 

breakfast.

It was soooo good!

 Plenty of fruit....

Yogurt parfaits went quickly.

Duane made amazing cinnamon rolls.

Everyone raved!!
Duane's name links to his wife,
Kelly's blog.

The Rabes brought their scones.

Ahhh....I love these with cream and lemon.

Sigh.....
I linked to their blog because Mrs. Rabe
has a wonderful post about living
the Christian life.
It is not always easy but God is
with us...teaching, leading and guiding.

More Fruit....

so elegantly displayed.

What you are not seeing is milk, fruit juice, 

egg casseroles and meat.

It was a wonderful breakfast. 

Our people can cook!!

Or in some cases,

buy the best boxes of 

donuts!

I love how everyone works together.

It is good!

Tomorrow I will show our

spontaneous trip to 

Baltimore's Inner Harbor

last night.

It was soooo much fun!
