Summer Picnics & Baptisms
Join us this summer as we come together as the body of Christ and seek to build and strengthen relationships with each other as well as celebrate new life in Christ through baptism and hearing the testimonies of those being baptized. Children are welcome and we will have open-ended activities for them (listed below).
All picnics will be held at PCC at 5PM, rain or shine. Due to the unpredictable nature of summer weather, we plan to have our baptisms and food line in the Gym so they aren't impacted by high heat indexes or thunderstorms. If the forecast the day-of calls for very favorable weather, we may elect to move everything outside and will announce the change at our morning services. After getting your food from the line you're welcome to sit anywhere you choose, inside or outside. Please bring a blanket / lawn chairs if you plan to eat and fellowship outside.
Each picnic we ask your household to bring a side dish or a dessert large enough to share with 10-12 others. See below under each picnic date for specifics on what to bring that evening according to the initial of your last name. PCC provides hamburgers, hot dogs, buns, drinks, condiments, and plates / napkins / utensils / cups. We do ask for a few volunteers to help with grilling the meats - please contact Peter Grimes if you are interested in helping with this.

Baptism Information
The symbol of water baptism serves as a lasting, visible reminder that we have already had one funeral and that we are now risen with Christ. Candidates for baptism are required to complete a study sheet and discuss its application to life with a PCC Pastor or Ministry Leader prior to experiencing the sacrament. We'll offer baptism opportunities at all three picnics and ask that you contact us at least one week prior to the picnic to schedule your meeting. Please contact the Chapel office for more info.
