BBQ was a great success! Plenty of food & fun!

During the Summer is the time of year that many families just want to get out and "have some fun!" So, even though it's a Sunday and we should be "in church" we decided instead to "be" the church.

With over 50 total coming to Pastor Brian's home we enjoyed plenty of down time and catching up. Some of us hung out in the living room and played on the few XBOX's we had set-up. I believe Brian Rice was doing his best to show how it's really done. Chris Mooney of course just played along letting Brian Rice win from time to time.

Outside we had Pastor Brian behind the grill cooking up all kinds of meat! We had so many burgers going the grease gave a cool fire presentation just for show!

The children had plenty of room to just run, run, run, run, and run! We had a few inflatable pools filled with plastic balls that were very popular with the young children. Mainly because they made it a point to throw all 500 of them throughout the yard so the adults could spend 30min picking them up!

About 8:30pm pretty much everyone had their fill of food so we started putting things away and cleaning up. After everything was put away the rest of us (about 15 people) gathered around the fire pit in the backyard.

A
fter 'safely' lighting the fire we enjoyed preparing ourselves for some S'mores! Yum! Yum!

Of course, Dan had to show us the proper way to feed
an army with his awesome 'super stick' that could roast 12 marshmallow at once!

Please enjoy the random pictures below....


Thanks again to all of you who were a part of this BBQ. We wouldn't have been able to pull this off without all of your support!

You're all a wonderful church family!
