Pack your chairs, your blankets, and your appetite— it’s going to be a fun-filled day with your Gateway family. On Sunday, July 13th we'll begin at church for our Sunday service at 10 AM for worship and a short message. Right after service, join us at Addenbrooke Park for an unforgettable afternoon filled with great food, joyful connection, and fun games for all ages. We’ll have volleyball, relay races, space to relax, and plenty of room to play and be together as a church family.
This fun-filled picnic will also take the place of our monthly food fellowship, The Gathering—so come ready to eat, laugh, play, and enjoy a beautiful afternoon in the sunshine with your Gateway family!
We also encourage you to invite someone who may be new to Jesus or unsure about church. This is a perfect, pressure-free opportunity for them to experience the joy, love, and authentic community found in the body of Christ.
**BEST PARKING** Use Garrison Street entrance at 601 S. Garrison St., Lakewood, CO 80226 for easier access to our picnic site.** A park map will be handed out at church the morning of the 13th so you’ll know exactly where to go.**
**WHAT TO BRING** To make this potluck-style picnic a success, we’d love for everyone to bring something to share! Here are some suggestions to help cover all the bases:
Main Dishes:
Fried chicken, sandwiches or wraps, sliders, drumsticks, or hearty pasta salads
Sides:
Potato salad, baked beans, chips and dip, veggie trays, or fruit skewers
Desserts & Snacks:
Cookies, brownies, popsicles, trail mix, or cheese & cracker platters
Drinks:
Bottled water, lemonade, iced tea, or juice boxes for the kids
(Coolers with ice are a huge help!)
We’ll follow up soon with more details about food logistics—like where to drop things off, how to transport your dish, and anything else you’ll need to help everything run smoothly.
