Why should you join us for the church picnic?
A. You donāt have to decide where to eat lunch
B. Stewart, Eric, and Joe are cooking
C. Itās a spring/fall tradition
D. All of the above
E. None of the above
The correct answer is D) All of the above. However, while A, B, and C are all accurate, the real reason you should join us is much more important.
We believe that an important part of following Jesus is doing life together, experiencing fellowship and breaking bread. Scripture provides a description of the activities of believers in the early church.
āThey devoted themselves to the apostlesā teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.ā Acts 2:42
Our vision frame for Kairos outlines it this wayā¦
Know: Teaching and Study
Live: Community
Join: Mission
Live – We wrestle in community with vulnerability and honesty, believing that God works through his people to restore one another from broken sinner into mature disciple. We seek reconciliation in geographic, political, theological, economic, life stage, and cultural diversity because it deepens our need for Jesus and broadens our understanding of the Kingdom. In all this, we desire to care for each other like Christ has cared for us.
Sharing meals and fellowship together is an essential part of our following Jesus and Living in Community. And no, even though the food and fellowship will both be awesome, sharing one picnic meal together will not make us into mature disciples but is an important step on the journey, not just for you but also for those with whom you share the meal.
So, join us on Sunday, May 6, following the worship service for our spring picnic, a Low-country Boil prepared by Stewart Teegarden, Eric Ragone, and Joe Ryan, some of our own āchefs.ā There will be a shrimp-free version available for anyone with a seafood allergy or who simply prefers it. We will also have hot-dogsĀ and all the trimmings. Dessert and drinks complete the meal.
