It was days after we had found out that Jesse would be doing his internship at Hope, and we called the pastor excited about coming to visit. He told us that they were having their outdoor service that weekend, and that he would love to introduce us there.
Big Dalton is a large park with campgrounds, a dam, and hiking trails. The church gathers in a small amphitheater with a large fire pit and picnic tables nearby for the potluck-style BBQ.
We were nervous last year, and I made Jesse dress up in his nicest slacks, shirt, and tie for the first time he met his new congregation. He still teases me about it, because as soon as we got to Big Dalton last year, Pastor met us at the bridge and made Jesse take his tie off and leave it in the car. Most of the church members still remember how "ridiculously overdressed" we apparently were last year!
Here we are hanging out with some of our friends after the service
Tyler and Stacey Stover, and Jon and Mary Castle. Both couples our in our College and Career Bible Study.
We had a bit of fun before the service, too. Our friend Greg, whom Jesse has known since before high school, needed to do a photo shoot with a couple for one of his photography classes. We volunteered ourselves (who doesn't want free photos?) and had a lot of fun. We did shots on the church grounds, on a cute old fashioned street in Glendora, and at Big Dalton Park hours before everyone else arrived.
Here are some of the pictures to share with you!
The rest of these were taken at Big Dalton. Isn't it gorgeous there?
