Noon to 3 p.m. – All-Church Picnic – Shepard Park Picnic Shelter
Join us after our worship service for an All-Church Picnic to kick off the church year with celebration and fellowship.
We have reserved the picnic shelter at Shepard Park, adjacent to the east of the church, so we can make use of the park grounds and playground for outdoor fun.
We will provide meat and veggie burgers, hotdogs, and fixin’s. You are invited to bring a potluck side or dessert for the feast. Also consider bringing picnic blankets and chairs, outdoor toys and games, and your own picnic dishes and utensils to cut down on the disposables.
RSVP by email so we can order enough burgers and hotdogs.
