This past weekend was my church's 30th anniversary celebration. Saturday evening was a lovely banquet catered by Marie Callender's. The mushroom/artichoke chicken was yummy! The program was lovely but our family has attended this church for 10 years and most of the celebration went back to the beginning. I did not know a lot of the people who returned for this event or some that were mentioned. An excellent DVD was produced using a lot of old photos but again I really didn't recognize the people in the pictures. But the banquet and entertainment were great.

Then on Sunday we had our annual picnic which was also part of the celebration. The founding pastor was the speaker for the morning and he was really good. The picnic was excellent, as usual, and the weather was warm but not too bad. I remembered to take my camera to the picnic so here are some pictures from that event. Sorry, I forgot my camera for the banquet.

This area was used to serve drinks, shaved ice,
desserts and signing up children for Sunday School.
