The first Sunday of every month is a Fellowship Meal immediately following church. This month it took place at the pastor's home. It was great. Good food and good friends.
This first image shows an Hawaiian custom that I JUST LOVE TO PIECES, removing one's shoes before entering the home, which in Hawaii is usually just a matter of slipping off one's flip flops. Yeah!! warm weather.

This is the group that was present for the luncheon. Not the entire church--several families were absent because of illness or being out of town--but I gave it the good ole' college try with the group that was there. Even Michela didn't complain. If you remember last year, she was the one in the photo with Leah who had her hands over her face. She's way too adorable to hide her face, so I appreciated her cooperation today.
