Join us as we mark the return of all the Bells and the start of this new chapter in our life together with a celebratory picnic.

We'll have seating indoors and outdoors; you're welcome to bring folding chairs, too. Iredell St. next to the church will be blocked off, and there will be space for kids to play in the fenced lawn area north of the church.

Blacknall will provide pork barbeque and fried chicken, and you are invited to bring a dish to share, as follows:

• Last name starting A-H: Salads

• Last name starting I-R: Side dishes

• Last name starting S-Z: Desserts

Volunteers needed! We need teams for set-up, help during the picnic, and clean-up. Please sign up to volunteer by Sunday, September 1 to support this fun and important event in our life together!
