July 4th, Sunday, Independent Day and Picnic

Devon Church annual picnic day is on the Independent Day. Independent Day of 2010 was on Sunday, so Sunday Worship Service was held on the picnic ground. Starting with praising the Lord with the guitar music, and the prayer and the sermon were followed.

The main idea of the sermon:
“On July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain, the United States of America became the Democratic country and enjoys the freedom.
However, there is more wonderful news of getting freedom in the Bible. It is our individual freedom from the bondage of sin. No one receives this freedom with any good works, but there is only one way by the blood of Jesus Christ shed on the cross. Anyone can receive the freedom and be saved through the grace of the Lord God, by accepting Jesus as the Savior and Lord with our faith.
Please come to see me (Pastor) if you want to accept this miracle good news.”

Lunch! Yes, it was lunch time after the Worship Service.
The theme of the picnic was “Hawaii,” so there was Kalua Pig. Can you see the pig’s head? It wasn’t a round head, so we can’t see the pig’s head. Everyone was so relieved. The head was flat, but there were ears, eyes and nose. Two Pastors ate the ears which is the best piece of the Kalua Pig, they said.

Beside the pig there were so many different delicious foods that was brought by everyone because this is pot-lack luncheon. After taking the photo of the half of the table, hungry people rushed to the tables.

Without explanation you can see so many people were enjoying their lunch. I think this is only half of the people. Many were wearing Hawaiian T-shirt.

Some smart people were sitting down away from the food table.

It was a beautiful day for the picnic. Because of 90 degree and the wind blowing strongly there weren’t any bugs or mosquitoes. All the children could not sit by the table, they were out on the field running around and playing.

Devon Church has been consisted of many different nationalities and races, so one of the Mexican family brought the Sunshine Piñata. Under the five years old children were trying to break down the Piñata hanging from the tree.
