Hanging Of The Greens---Picture Edition

Tonight was the "Hanging Of The Greens" at our church. It is an annual event where everyone comes out for food, fun/crafts, music and chit chatting.

In "theory" it's SUPPOSED to work like this: everyone chips in decorating the church WHILE they are eating, having fun and chit chatting. What REALLY happens, unfortuantely, is that about 10 hard working souls do everything while the rest of us try and look busy.

Here's the food part:

Our Family church strategy lesson #1: Hang out in or around the kitchen at all times.....except for when they start washing dishes.....EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY....FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO DO.

Here's the fun/craft part:

R and S had fun making crafts at the craft table.

Here's the chit chatting part:

Chit Chatting about who has the biggest muscles is still chit chatting.

This year was an extra special one for us because it was the big church 'debut' of the CUMC Youth Band.

**Applause**Applause**Applause**Applause**Massive Amounts of Applause**

(This week their name is "Best Kolaches", last week it was "Irregardless Gnomes", next week...............got any ideas? I'm sure they are open for suggestions.)

T is their FEARLESS sponsor and G jams the heck out of plays guitar.

(I'll do a video post of the band in action once I figure out how to do it....baby steps, people, baby steps)

"Alright.......is everyone plugged in? Check one, Check one, Check, Check"

Here's the band getting ready to ROCK THE HOUSE.

G's two good friends, D and J visited our church this evening to watch their friend play! Wasn't that sweet?

Once again, a great evening with my church family. (See more here.)

I feel truly blessed!
