Annual Water Baptism and Church Family Picnic – Sun. June 25 at Fitzroy Provincial Park
On June 25, the service will be a shortened one, including testimonies from those who are choosing to be baptized. Afterward, everyone heads over to Fitzroy Provincial Park for a picnic, followed by baptism. Here’s what you need to know:

– You can, but are NOT required to purchase a vehicle permit in advance. The downfall of not purchasing in advance is that if the park is busy that day, you are not guaranteed entry.
– Plan to bring a picnic lunch and drinks for your own family (there are NO longer any BBQs on-site), along with a salad or dessert to share with the church family. It is also helpful if you bring a blanket or chairs as there are usually not enough picnic tables for everyone, as well as bug spray (some have been bitten by ticks!).
– Upon arrival, head to the “day-use/Maples” area (to the right). 
– After lunch and a bit of free time (including a few games for the kids), everyone gets back in their cars and heads to the beach area where the baptisms take place. Many kids also bring bathing suits and play in the sand and water at this time.
– Vehicle Permits:
$18 regular
$14.50 for age 65+
$9 for those with an accessible parking permit
Link to purchase the vehicle permit will be provided closer to the date.

New this year…
How many of you like spending time with other people at this church? How many like spending time in God’s creation? What if this June there was a way to do both!?
