The official program booklet of the OGCMA mentions nothing special for Sunday, May 31, but there is something special going on. Driving around town this morning there are guides in the streets and at key corners wearing colorful T shirts and leis. They seem to be mostly young happy people who are carrying white arrows to direct visitors to shuttle buses and to the Great Auditorium for an 11:00 am church service.
The Liquid Church is based at 4 campuses in New Jersey and it offers a Christian message at their service this morning which includes live music and a sermon by their founder Pastor Tim. After the service they are holding a picnic on the Pathway and then, later, baptisms on the beach.
We spoke to a group of them who were directing drivers and walkers to the GA. They were thrilled to be in the Grove—it was the first visit for many. Since they were acting as guides, I gave them the Blogfinger OG geography exam question, “Where is the ocean?” They all passed the test.
One young man was enamored with our town, noting how friendly and beautiful it is. He said, “I’d like to have a house here.”

This photograph is from 2015 when I came upon members of the Liquid Church. So, they are back in 2019—nothing new under the sun. Click on “Blogfinger” beneath this sentence
