- We’ll have our annual Church Potluck Picnic to welcome our visiting missionary family. The “potluck” part will take place downstairs in the Fellowship Hall. Each family is asked to bring a hot dish and a cold dish to share. Then we’ll move outdoors (weather permitting) for games! Make sure to be here; it’ll be a ball! (Kick-ball, that is!)
