Summer Picnics & Baptisms 2020

Due to COVID-19 restrictions and the fluid nature of what is allowable & safe, the details for each picnic this summer with be announced at least two weeks before the actual picnic date.

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

The June 28 & July 26 picnics will be held at Peninsula Community Chapel. Location for the August 23 picnic is TBD.

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 outside at PCC at the June 28 picnic and TBD for the August 23 picnic. Contact the Chapel office for more info.

Food & Drink

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, PCC will not be providing any food, drinks, utensils, paper products, condiments or the like at the June 28 & July 26 picnics (Aug. 23 TBD). Everyone is asked to bring their own complete picnic meal & supplies. In addition, everyone is requested to bring their lawn chairs, umbrellas, blankets, etc. for seating and protection from the sun.

At all picnics this summer, we will be celebrating the Lord's Table together. Individually packaged elements will be provided by PCC.

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 recreational equipment for you to use and if we are able to be at Fort Monroe for a picnic this summer, there's a public beach just yards from the picnic area. Children are welcome and we will have open-ended activities for them.

At all picnics this summer, we will be celebrating the Lord's Table together. Individually packaged elements will be provided by PCC.

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.
