You didn’t think we were just going to let a 4th of July Sunday slip by unnoticed, did you? Here’s the scoop.

When: Sunday, July 4th from 10:00 to 3:00 on the front lawn of Father’s House.

Bring: Wear your shorts & bring your friends, your own lawn chairs or picnic blanket, a picnic lunch, a dessert to share, shade cover if you have one, items you might need for our Kid’s Parade of Colors. (In addition to bringing a dessert to share, consider entering it in our dessert contest.)

Highlights: An awesome outdoor Sunday service, Kid’s Parade of Colors, Quilt raffle, a dessert contest, jump house, cotton candy, Patriotic photo booth, crazy games, races, a huge tug-of-war, watermelon eating contest, prize ribbons, and other activities that we can’t tell you about!

Because this event is a fund raiser for our fall Ladies Retreat, there will be a charge for a few things like cotton candy and the photo booth. So bring a few dollars to contribute to a worthy cause..

Note: If you would like to be one of the judges for the dessert contest, the cost is $5.00 and only 5 judges are needed. If your judge’s mouth is watering, see Diane Hallquist for details on how you can have a taste of each of our contest entries.
