Summer Picnics

Summer Picnics & Baptisms 2020

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. Scroll below the general information to find out specific information for each picnic.

Dates / Times

Picnics will be held on June 28, July 26 & August 23 - all are Sunday evenings starting at 5:00PM.

Location

Each picnic will be held at Fort Monroe this summer - see below for directions to the picnic area. There is a covered picnic shelter at the site with picnic tables but we encourage you to bring lawn chairs, ground blankets, etc. as well because the picnic shelter is not large enough to accommodate everyone.

Baptisms

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 mentor prior to experiencing the sacrament. We'll baptize in the Chesapeake Bay during two of the picnics this summer - June 28 & August 23. Contact the Chapel office for more info.

Food & Drink

Each picnic we encourage you 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. PCC provides hamburgers, hot dogs, buns, drinks, condiments, and plates/napkins/utensils/cups. We do ask for volunteers to help with set up and cooking the meat - please contact Peter Grimes if you are interested in helping with this.

Activities at the Picnic

We'll always highlight some aspect of our community life at PCC at the picnics whether it be hearing from folks who are being baptized about the work that Christ has done in their lives or through other community building activities. But we also like to just have fun and we'll bring along volleyball equipment for you to use and there's a public beach just yards from the picnic area. Children are welcome and we will have open-ended activities for them.

Inclement Weather

If thunderstorms or other potentially dangerous types of weather are threatening on the day of the picnic, make sure to check PCC's website for any last minute news regarding the status of the picnic. We'll make sure to post something on the home page by 4:00PM the day of the picnic to let you know if the picnic is happening or not. We'll also send out a notification through the PCC mobile app if the picnic gets canceled. If you don't have the PCC app, you can get it here.
