This morning a group of members from the Church of Peace participated in the Labor Day Parade in Rock Island. It was a nice, cool, day and we stepped off soon after the 9:30 start time and were done by 11 am. We ended at the home of one of our church members, Myrna Adams, and watched more of the parade from her front yard.
Our group was about twenty persons. Mainly it was the church brass band playing songs from the back of a hay wagon. The theme for the parade this year was trains - you know, "the Rock Island Line..." So the songs included Do the Locomotion, This Train is Bound for Glory, Gospel train and the Rock Island Line.
We also had walkers handing out candy and literature. Two persons carried the "God Is Still Speaking" banner published by our national United Church of Christ.
Here is a photo of my wife Nancy and I waiting for the beginning of the parade a few years back when the theme was "cartoon characters." I am Shreck and Nancy is Minnie Mouse.
