Thank you to everyone who, despite the occasional rain drop, attended and enjoyed the parish picnic last Sunday. The festivities were made brighter when we were joined by a cheerful group of parishioners from St Matthias, which offered a wonderful opportunity to share fellowship and begin getting to know each other better.
Our picnics draw on the talents and efforts of many people. We enjoyed contributions of salads, cookies, cornbread and other tasty dishes. It was a wonderful surprise when more people than expected arrived early and got the tables and chairs set up in record time. A hard-working team prepared and served the meal; and many hands made light work of cleaning up and putting everything away. Thank you to everyone who contributed to our community’s picnic, in whatever way you contributed.
Our especial gratitude goes to Joan Sedgwick and Melinda Budgell for the fun and games that the kids so enjoyed, and to Larry Anthony for his talent in tying balloon animals.
