Church of the Apostles,

A church that remains playful by engaging in general fun and silliness is a church that will stay vibrant in mission, compassionate in ministry, and solid in unity. 

When we have fun together we gain perspective about the world around us, which helps us practice the presence of Christ rather than anxiously overreacting to life. Silliness fosters a wide scope of responses to all circumstances and is critical for apology and forgiveness to form in our character.

With that said, let’s have a picnic in the park. Please join us at 4 pm on Friday, July 20 at Owen Fish Park in Fairfield. We will have a couple of grills fired up and ready to go when you arrive. Bring meat to grill, any drinks that you like, and a dish to share. Paper products, plastic cutlery, and a couple of drink coolers of lemonade and tea will be provided for you. 

While you’re enjoying July 4th festivities with your family and friends mark your calendar and plan to come and enjoy food, fun, fellowship. You can watch or play in a pick-up softball game. There is a great playscape for the kids and plenty of shade to relax in, so bring your lawn chairs. I hope to see you there!

Peace and Hope,
Brian+
