Church Heritage Day

Recently, our church celebrated it's 6th anniversary, so we decided to do something a little different,

Family Fellowship Heritage Day!

 

Everyone dressed up as someone from the past.  The only rules were that it had to be a real life person.  Wheels were turning and creativity was flying high! 

Our family!

 

Mom...a.k.a. Annie Oakley

 

Dad (alias Paul Revere)

 

Savannah,...ahem, I mean Molly Pitcher

Noah...the honorable Abraham Lincoln

 

Honest Abe!

Me...or should I say Missionary Bertha Smith?

 

 

Ethan/the famous Francis Scott Key, writer of the Star Spangled Banner

And now for our fun-loving church members, who stepped into the past for the day to bring us a delightful Sunday to remember!

Clara Barton, Cattle Kate, and Preston Brooks

A 49'er, Alvin York, Alvin's sister, and WWII submarine engineer, and confederate soldier, and you'll have to forgive me, but I can't remember the other characters!  Oops!

Annie Oakley, the Statue of Liberty, Florence Nightingale, Mr. Stevens who dressed up as Jim Bob Stevens, a Japenese lady and Texas John Slaughter

Johnny Reb meet Daniel Boone

A scout

A very young 49'er! 

A real-life Ninja, a school teacher, John Newton, Elisabeth Elliot, and Queen Esther

At the end of the afternoon we played a few family games which were hilariously funny to watch!  Below are all of us lining up to compete!

 

 

 

Oh the fun!  I'm thinking this might just become an annual tradition!
