All-Parish Barbecue

Sunday, June 14, after the 9:30 am service

It looks like the sun is going to show up — and so should you!

Parish Life and the Men's Group are firing up the grill with vegetarian and meat options for everyone. Bring your favorite salad, side, or dessert to share and come hungry!

Breaking news: we’re dusting off Grace’s giant slip and slide. Yes, really. Kids are encouraged. Adults are dared. Either way, bring your swimsuit, so you're ready.

See you there!
