A note from Pastor Larry

I have a ice pack plastic wrapped to my left knee, and after that goes numb I am putting the ice on my right ankle. But still would do it all over agian.

It was a beautiful day for a cook out at sesqi park! We got to worship together, eat together, and some of us thought we were young again. My hat goes off to David Rowell our aging worship Pastor who out preformed most of those in there early 30's and 40's.

We made a couple of errors   but there were a few great plays too. 

I want to thank Kelly Taylor for organizing the cookout, Robert Sharp for his grill and cooking, Robert Avery, and Keith Willoughby for food prep, our wounderfull set up crew, and all those that attened. You all made it a special day.
