Church in the Park

Warning: This post seems unusually silly.  It must be on account of the soy fudge bar that I am about to eat.  Please don’t take anything too seriously here, except maybe the first and last lines, which constitute The Main Point.

Our Baylight Church Community has been taking advantage of the beautiful summer weather by having church in the park one Sunday a month.

Here’s Pastor Mike, the great orator, preaching the Good News.  Here you also witness the natural absence of listeners sitting directly in front of Mike.  This perhaps not only protects the listener from projectiles which may protrudeth from said orator’s mouth (which surely never happens), but follows in line with the hope of not being within direct line of sight to be called on should said orator decide to employ the Socratic method.

Here proudly stands (in a manner of speaking) the pastor’s son, who will no doubt one day carry on in his father’s footsteps, delivering powerful and timely words that pierce the heart with the searing force of conviction.  Fearless in the face of great evils in the world, he will be a testament to the Lord’s strength.

After our spirits have been fed, it is time to feed the stomach.  In this photo, I mainly see chips and soda, the sustenance of children of all ages.  Good work with the hot links there, Grillmaster!

Here the father demonstrates his mastery of the stance known as “Using the Force”.  Ah yes, a fine Jedi your son will grow up to be.

Of course, Church in the Park would be incomplete without Dogs in the Park.  Here Steph presents a fine specimen indeed of the dignified Husky breed, just 10 weeks old!  She had simply stunning blue eyes.  No, the pronoun here is not actually ambiguous.  Assuming the photo actually loaded for you, simple inspection will reveal that only one of the subjects here have blue eyes, even though I’m sure both Steph and Coco have eyes of a stunning nature.

The Royal Cake Tester can be seen here testing the balloons on the cake for that perfect balloon-y consistency necessary to pass the royal standards.  Yes, your balloon may be slightly dimpled by the time you receive a slice, but better safe than sorry, I always say.  Surely, the Queen Mother smiles to express her approval of the Royal Cake Tester’s faithful service.

It looks like the Husky pup has had her share of romping good play today.  Look at those widdle paws!  Aww, so cute.

Puppies are certainly not the only ones emanating cuteness at this park.  See how they dote on her as she contemplates chucking the baseball.

“Why, no, I did not just eat this entire bag of Reduced Fat Ruffles by myself.”

Our master storyteller tells the tale of the big fish he caught to whomever would lend him an ear.

This precious child puts on her sweetest “May I have a cookie, pretty please?” look.  It of course tends to work without fail.

“Aww, how cute.  She’s sitting on his head!”  The lesson here is: Give her a cookie when she asks sweetly the first time.

“Okay, show’s over.  All of the Capri Suns have been consumed.  Nothing to see here.”

If you’d like to join us next time for Church in the Park, please just ask!  We’re coming to a park near you!
