Picnic in the Park

This Ministry gives us an excellent opportunity, working as a team, to put the messages in our Gospels into action by serving men, women, and children in need a delicious meal, prepared in our parish kitchen, and served at Heartside Park in Grand Rapids each week. Many volunteers are needed to make this ‘Special Treat” successful. Opportunities exist for shopping, preparing the food on Wednesdays, transporting the food & supplies and those carpooling, serving, and clean up on Thursdays upon return to the Parish.

There are 10 picnics scheduled throughout the summer. You can get involved in one or as many as you can support (pick and choose the dates). Notices will be placed in the Parish Bulletin and web site and Sign Up Genius will be used to fill the positions.

Please get involved! This Ministry is enriching for the servers and popular with those we serve. We bring conversa-tions, answer questions, smiles, and “warm hearts” all while we safely serve a “Meal Treat” that includes a delicious main entrée, side dishes, watermelon, lemonade, and Hudsonville Ice Cream.

Time is the most precious gift that we have on this journey in life. Donating some of it to those who have less or need help, is truly a blessing!
