4th of July

4th of July started out pretty wet here in Central IL. The plans for the day were to go to the Sanford's home, have a cookout, play volleyball and other games, and enjoy an afternoon of fellowship. The rainy weather soon squashed those plans and we came up with a Plan B. So early afternoon, families of Providence gathered in the church fellowship hall. Tons of food was brought and the grills were soon fired up onder the church overhang.

The children gathered downstairs and played card and board games. The men and women visited. The little ones ran around having fun.

After dinner we went upstairs for some singing, the reading of the Declaration of Independence, and a short devotional by Pastor McDonald.

Soon it was dark and we headed into town for some fireworks.
