Okay where are we? We are in Riverside Park. It's in Vero Beach on the island side. Calvary Chapel Vero Beach does this each year, since 2008 (I think) What is going on is, Good Friday afternoon, Calvary has these tents and everything ready to serve the church a food trucks and others that sell food and drinks and just some fun things too. Like what you see above here, it's not snow, but sure is a fun thing for the children to play in and just having some fun.
This is the load dock for the children to wait to get on that boat ride that is right above this picture. They ride them around and just another fun thing to do. Looking around there are many younger children and young family here, getting food to eat, the children getting their face painted and so many other things to do.
These four tents were set up on Thursday, by the folks that volunteer here at the church. This is where the Good Friday service will be held, tonight. Plus, on Sunday this is our Easter Service too. Meanwhile Jeanne and I were getting a little hungry now.
So we stood in line to get some tacos and other Mexican Food. As we were standing here, we meet a few folks standing here with us. I am sorry I forgot their names, but it was an enjoyable time to get to know them. Jeanne told me that the line at the pizza tent was moving twice as fast, so we left here and walked over to the pizza tent.
While standing in line, I noticed this older gentleman throwing a pizza in the air. Then he spoke to the guy in front of us and I noticed it was our Senior Pastor Jim. He is the one that oversees Calvary Chapel Vero Beach.
Sa we were standing in line, I took some pictures and just enjoyed to site and sounds we heard from the children playing and just enjoying themselves.
Jeanne was talking with one of the gentlemen that help out there. I really was thinking, what is she talking about? Oh, I know, is this something worth all thew work and the money to get something like this going? My little girl would love to barbecue on a wood grill and sell brisket and hot dogs and hamburgers and other things to sell. We have talked about it many times. Just set up a grill and sell some good tasting food.
The praise and worship team came out and we started the Good Friday Service.
This gentleman is Pastor Nat Gallaher, he is the son to Pastor Jim, (I showed you earlier, pizza guy) He did the Good Friday Service. He did a nice job.
Afterwards the sun was setting and took this beautiful shot. There were a few folks at this church service, so getting out I thought it might take us a while to get out of the parking lot. But it went very smooth.
We by now the weekend as gone by and it's the work week again. On Saturday afternoon, my friend and his loving wife came to town, and they are staying at our home until they are ready to go back to Baltimore. So, these next couple of blogs I will be sharing things about their time with us.
Meanwhile I have been reading in 2 Samuel 11 to 21. 11 is telling us the story about King David and Bathsheba encounter. From there, King David realizes what he did to Uriah's he death. Then her baby died. Meanwhile one of King David's sons (Amnon) raped his sister, Tamar. Then down the road, Absalom (Tamar's brother) set up a party and Amnon came and afterwards, Absalom killed him.
Folks, please take the time and read your Bible. There are so many stories and listening to and learn.
It really is neat to read the Bible and just walk away, realizing He is talking to you.
I love you and want you to have what I have; HIS WORD IS ALIVE.
