ALL-CHURCH PICNIC

Wear your picnic clothes to church.
Bring a dish (or two) to share.
Stay after the worship service for some food,

ADULTS & YOUTH
Come prepared with your game faces and team spirit!
Kids!!! It's time to get busy in the kitchen!
As part of the All-Church Sunday School Picnic on
August 27, we will again have a Kids Baking Contest!
Make sure what you are making falls into one of the following
categories:
Cupcakes, Brownies, Cookies,
Fruit Dessert, No Bake Treats
The only rule is you have to team up with an adult to
participate. Bring your goodies down to the Fellowship Hall before
church on the 27TH, and we will have papers for you to fill out so we
know what you made and who you made it with, as well as which
category you are competing in. There will be a prize for each
category. Good Luck!!!
