June 2015 Church Picnic Story

6/27/2015

 
Our Summer Picnic in 2015

Even though we had rain, we had a great turnout for our annual picnic in June 2015.  The children had a blast with the indoor games, complete with prizes for everyone.  A special thank you to Father Joe, George Thornhill, and Courtney Henry, who made sure the grill was under control in the rain.

Thank you to all the guests that came and please remind them that they are also always welcome to Sunday services and brunch.

Parish Summer BBQ Picnic

9/15/2013

 
The 2013 BBQ picnic on September 15 was a big success.  It was scheduled this year at the church, instead of at a park.  Just in time for the picnic event, new surfacing was added to the driveway.  And a combination grill with gas and charcoal in the same unit was purchased and used for the first time at the picnic.  In addition to classic BBQ food, such as potato salad, chicken, hot dogs and hamburgers, traditional West Indian and Caribbean specialties were also served.

Many volunteers were on hand to prepare the food, do the serving and cleaning-up.

The BBQ picnic was an opportunity to celebrate the 35th wedding anniversary of George and Isabella Thornhill.  They brought a dessert cake that had their photo specially printed on the icing.  Isabella also brought her iPad and took many pictures.

Courtney Henry supervised the grilling and served as DJ, playing contemporary and other Gospel music recordings that filled the air.
