We are entering into springtime and many
things will vie for our time and attention. We
usually see a drop-off on the Sunday of the
Memorial Day weekend. But this year, we are
going to fight fire with fire. We are going to
give our people an option to stay home that
Sunday and participate in a church picnic. We
did this several years ago and had a crowd of
302 that Sunday, when we were averaging
about 200.
So, we thought we would try doing that again
this year. We will designate that Sunday to be a
God & Country Day. Weʼll have a church picnic
after the AM services: grilling hamburgers and
hot dogs with all the fixings and desserts that
our members can provide.
We will have live music on the parking lot,
along with a lot of fun things for the kids:
bouncy castle, games, snow-cones, etc. We can
set up a volleyball net, a horse-shoe pit, and all
the things that usually come with a picnic.
So, mark your calendar and make plans to be
a part of this special time with your church
family. We will make this a Friend Day, so invite
your friends and neighbors to come join us.
[And pray that it doesnʼt rain!]
