All Episcopalians in the Southern Deanery are invited to St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church on Saturday, July 30, at 4 p.m. for a picnic. St. Matthew’s will provide hot dogs and hamburgers (will have a donation jar) and requests that everyone else please bring a side dish (potato salad, coleslaw, beans, chips, desserts) and favorite beverages.

In addition to eating and having great fellowship with each other and Bishop Bruce, please bring any outdoor games you might have. If people are interested in softball, St. Matthew’s has five acres of grass. Also, please bring lawn chairs, blankets, and any other creature comforts you might desire. There is a pavilion for shade at St. Matthew’s.
