End of Summer Church Picnic, September 28, 2025 By Laura Pryce As 4:00 came on Sunday afternoon of September 28, people continued to arrive at Pratt Park for our church picnic. A variety of picnic food began to cover the tables under Shelter G. Lots of our children and grandchildren came in tow also. They brought their energy and desire for fun. God graced our area with warm sunshine. Once the food was blessed, we were nourished by delicious home made side dishes which accompanied fried chicken. Better yet, our spirits were fed as we communed with our fellow church members and friends.
Many "caught up" with those folks they had not seen in a while. We seniors watched the "little ones" as they ran around freely, with excited smiles on their faces. We crowded around and cheered adventurous volunteers, young and "older," who participated in silly games. (Pastor David worked diligently, contorting his face in order to move an Oreo cookie from his forehead to his mouth) We all left for home together with full hearts and looking forward to another picnic experience. What a blessing to be had in this generational gathering!
