Come and join together for a good ol’ time at our annual congregational picnic on May 18, 2008 in the courtyard of Christ the King Church. This year’s picnic is on Trinity Sunday since Pentecost, our traditional day for this event, is on May 11, Mother’s Day. All are free to don their red attire on Pentecost Sunday as usual and then come dressed casual in the colors of the rainbow on picnic day, May 18.
See page 10 for picnic food.
Picnic Food
The Enrichment and Education commission invites the whole congregation to participate in the planning for this year’s picnic. The commission leaders will provide fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and biscuits for $5 per person with a cap of $20 per family. All families and individuals are asked to bring fruit, green salads, dessert and anything that is your favorite picnic dish.
For the starches and vegetarian options we are looking for volunteers to make large size dishes such as potato and pasta salads, prepare bite size corn on the cob etc. If you do not usually cook for large crowds, the following recipes are available from the church office upon request. They work well and can be multiplied to make anywhere from 12 to 20+ servings. And remember, cooking in teams may be the way to go - it’s fun and easy!
Tortellini Caesar Salad (no meat)
Pasta Salad (all vegetable)
Shell Pasta Salad with Chicken
Black bean orzo salad (no meat)
Fiesta Taco Salad (no meat)
Cole Slaw (Cabbage) Salad
Cheesy Party Potatoes (warm dish)
