Today was Heritage Sunday for our Church. This event was started about 20 years ago as "Gospel-Sing Sunday" for singing all those hyms and songs that are so much a part of most protestant churches except the Episcopal Church ( we tend toward non-swinging, no hand-clapping type music - a pity!). We enjoyed our Sunday song-fest so much that it became a annual tradition and we eventually renamed it "Heritage Sunday". The majority of our church members have come from various protestant backgrounds and we felt they "missed" the old music. As a matter of fact - I LOVE the old hymns and gospel songs and I didn't grow up with that tradition as an Anglican/Episcopalian.

After our church service with the wonderful music, we had an old fashioned picnic suited for South Mississippi summer weather ( 98+ degrees ) ............... inside the parish hall! Hey - it's the only way to have a picnic in July in this part of the world. Below are a few pictures of us gathered for the inside picnic.
