and held a huge picnic at a local park and invited sister churches and the Boy Scouts and families from Troop 777. The day began with the annual Trinity A v. Trinity B softball game. Meanwhile, the Boy Scouts of Troop 777 marched in the Pequannock Parade, family and friends cheering them on, while they sung "Onward, Christian Soldiers."
The Boy Scouts and their families then made their way over to the picnic grounds
to meet up with the sweaty softball players for a lunch of hot dogs, hamburgers, and plenty of amazing salads. After the meal, the Boy Scouts performed a flag ceremony and one of the scouts played taps, while we all meditated upon the lives that had been spent for the freedom we now enjoy in America. Next, Pastor Daddy gave a devotional about how true freedom comes from life in Christ.Although the planned activities
of the day ended at 4pm, people continued to enjoy fellowship and play volleyball until almost 7. Sheryl and Andrew built up arm muscles pushing kids on a mini merry-go-round, Julie tried to kill herself and everyone else practicing her volleyball skills, and Mom and Dad did what Carlsons do really well - talk and talk! The Carlsons thoroughly appreciated the day of relaxation before the final sprint to the end of school year.
