Zion Church Sunset Cruise 2019

God blessed us with another beautiful evening for our annual Sunset Cruise on Sunday, September 8th. The Miss Barnegat Light took us out through the inlet for a lovely cruise along the coast and a lovely sunset. An unusual sight was the pelicans flying near the lighthouse, that's a first for us. The Ladies Guild provided a deliscious buffet of food and goodies just before the drawing for the door prizes! Thank you to the local businesses that donated the prizes and many thanks go to the Larson family for providing the boat and the cruise each year. Enjoy the photos!
