KC ANNUAL CHURCH PICNIC – TOMORROW:
Our annual Church picnic is TOMORROW, Sunday, June 2nd, at the same location as for the past several years. Baumgardner Park (main shelter house #1 at NE corner of park), 2401 NW Ashton Drive, Blue Springs, MO 64015. Please plan to arrive at about 11:00 AM to allow for setup, organizing food dishes, and fellowship, before having a picnic lunch at about 12:00 noon. Iced tea, lemonade, Gatorade, water, cups, plates, plastic-ware, and napkins will be furnished. Each family is asked to bring their favorite picnic food to share, such as a meat dish, vegetable or fruit salad, and desert, enough for your family and one or two other persons. Singles are asked to bring chips and fruit drinks or soda (no beer!). There will be games available for our young children. Children’s games will start at 1:00 PM. There will also be opportunities to play other sports, such as: kickball, volleyball, softball, tennis, and horseshoes. If you plan on participating in sports, then please bring your own sports equipment, as none will be provided. Don’t forget to bring lawn chairs, sunglasses, and sunscreen. And please pray for favorable weather! We will need to have the shelter house itself clean and vacated by 4:00 PM to allow for the possibility of another group’s booking of the shelter house. Those who would like to stay after 4:00 PM are welcome to continue games and fellowship in the surrounding park (but not in the shelter house). Maps showing the picnic location are on the information table.
