Parish Wide Picnic! - June 1st, 2008

Everyone in the Parish is invited to attend an end-of-the year picnic on Sunday, June 1st beginning at noon until 3 pm. This event, co-sponsored by the Parish Life & Christian Education Committees, will be held on the west lawn of the Parish Hall, or inside if it rains. All newcomers to the Parish are especially encourage to attend as we welcome them, plus Amanda Finkenbinder and her fiancé, John Knouse. Amanda will be joining the staff as assistant rector also on June 1. In addition, we will take a few moments to recognize Deacon Bob McCoy who has helped us so greatly over the past, often difficult, year.

The sponsoring committees will provide hamburgers, hotdogs, chips & drinks for the occasion. We would appreciate if attending families and individuals would donate salads, side dishes and desserts. Linda Stewart, chair of the Parish Life Committee, will post a list of what is needed and a sign-up sheet. Please email (lstewart54@aol.com) or call (443-203-6774) Linda with your questions, or just to let her know if you are attending.

For parents of kids attending church school that day, be advised that we will keep the younger children for their fellowship meeting between 11 and noon; while the older middle school and high school students will be asked to help with set-up. Eleven o-clock parishioners are advised to wear picnic clothes to church that day, as the croquet and potato sack races could get a little strenuous!

Come out for some fun, to meet new people, to welcome our new assistant and to say thanks to our deacon.
