We will be having a church-wide picnic and bonfire hosted by the Miners at their new farm in Manchester! They’ll be grilling out some food for everyone, but if folks can bring a side dish, snack, or dessert that would be great. There’s chickens, geese, and sheep to visit, fields and trails through woods to run in, a wetland to look for frogs or salamanders in, trees to climb and plenty of places for kids to explore and get dirty. When it gets dark, there will be a bonfire and s’mores. Festivities start at 5:30pm. You can reach out to Pastor Daniel if you have any questions!
