The Annual Parish Picnic will be on Sunday, May 18, at the Pavilion at the Waterfront Park. Stroll down after the 10:15 a.m. service or meet us there beginning at 11:30 a.m. Bring a chair or blanket. Please bring a cold covered-dish to share (hot dishes cannot be kept warm). The church will provide the barbecue chicken. It will be an afternoon of fun, food, games, and fellowship for the entire family. Reservations are needed, so please call the church office at 522-1712 to sign up. Remember—please wear your nametag!
Food Drop-Off: If you prefer, you may drop off your dish at the Waterfront Park before church. There will be a “drive-thru” drop-off table set up behind the Marina Office. Just drive up and someone will be there to take your dish. Remember to label your dish with your name. We ask that you please not bring your dish to the Parish Hall.

Please plan to join us. Make your reservation by calling the church office at 522-1712. For questions, contact Gail Mullen at 522-4270 or email her at Gail_Mullen@Countrywide.com.
Please join us in the church at 6 p.m. on Saturday, May 10, for the Chorister’s presentation of 100% Chance of Rain, composed by Walter Horsely.
