After a two-year pandemic hiatus, the Annual Transfiguration Church Picnic was held on Sunday, June 5. We were so happy to enjoy great weather, great food, and of course – time spent with our great church family!  We wore red for Pentecost and we celebrated a baptism, too. It was a special day of celebration!
