THE MAKINGS OF A PICNIC
August 13th, 2006

I just received an email from one of my sisters suggesting that when I visit we take a bike ride followed by a picnic in a scenic area. Sounds great for a summer event.
People of many nationalities and cultures have picnics. There is something relaxing and carefree about taking food outside, sitting on the lawn near water or trees, talking with friends and family, and then maybe even playing games or walking. A picnic is a summary of what summer should be.
Picnic food is usually simple and tasty. It’s not a time for elaborate dishes or haut cuisine. Most of us can’t even imagine a picnic without burgers, hot dogs, potato salad, or baked beans.
When we have our parish picnic next Sunday afternoon, the goal will be to provide an opportunity for people to gather just for fun. There will be the opportunity for activities, but the main purpose is to help people know each other and have fun together.
Our parish is growing quickly and we need many opportunities to come together. (Generations of Faith, for example, helps people meet each other.) Whether you are with a family or alone, please plan to come next Sunday, August 20. It will be a great day for all.
