Some members of The Men's Golf League - Ready to tee off on the first hole of Grosebeck Golf Course (it's over water). They are all holding a "Sponge Bob Square Pants" golf ball (provided by Marylea Benson) just in case they hit it in the water. Wonder how many of the "boys" had the ball when the round was over?

From Millie Ericson:

Hawk Island Park, Lansing
With a red, white and blue theme to honor Flag Day, the Annual Sunday Service and Picnic in the Park will take place on 
Sunday, June 14, beginning with Eucharist at 10 am. The location this year is Hawk Island Park, 1601 Cavanaugh St. (between Pennsylvania and Aurelius) in Lansing. Parishioners are invited to join in the festivities of the day by wearing Flag Colors!
Hawk Island Park offers many activity options for all ages including swimming, fishing, a paved trail for walking or biking, a splash pad, sand volleyball and a community-built playground. No dogs are allowed in the park but the Soldan’s Dog Park is available nearby.
Sign up is available by the Merrifield Room. Sign up to bring one of the following: potato salad, baked beans, salad, veggies, fruit dish, chips, dessert. The church will provide hot dogs, hamburgers, drinks and picnic ware. A map to the Park and a Coupon for parking at the park are available with the sign up sheet. Donations will be collected at the picnic to cover parking fee and offset the cost of hot dogs, etc.
The 10 am service will take place at the Park. There will not be a 10 am service at the church. The 8 am service will be at the church as usual.

Ever wonder how they change the light bulbs in the sanctuary? Father Gordon snapped a few pictures – and you can view them here. Bring your dust mask!
Praise to the Holiest in the height! (and keep a steady hand on that forklift...)
