• to create time and space for us to build meaningful friendships with one another by doing fun things together • to provide an easy way to invite friends to experience Christian community in a relaxed environment outside the church walls
This afternoon (around 1:00 pm) we will be meeting in Queen Elizabeth Park. Bring along a picnic lunch, something to sit on, and a frisbee (for frisbee golf). Our after lunch activities will include: a walk in the Quarry Gardens and a round of Frisbee Golf. We’ll meet beside the Rose Garden, close to the parking lot between the pitch and putt and off leash area. Look for a string of helium balloons to find us. We hope to see you there!
