The Search Committee will be hosting a picnic for the City's Gate and the Slaboda's at the Riverview Pavilion on City Island.

It is our hope that this informal time together will provide an opportunity for the congregation of the City's Gate to get to know Jed, Megan and Peter through conversation, play and sharing a meal together, as well as a time of fellowship as a church.

City Island offers many family-friendly attractions, including batting cages, a beach, and playgrounds as well as stroller- and bike- friendly paths. The Carousel Pavilion is located on the City Island. For those who have not yet visited City Island, a list of attractions, activities and vendors can be found on their website.

There is plenty of parking available on the Island, easily accessible from both the East and West Shores via the Market Street Bridge. Dinner will be served around 5pm. The Committee will be grilling traditional picnic fare and asks that those who will be joining us bring a side dish or dessert to share. So that we have an accurate idea of how many people to plan for, please contact Lisa Zieger to RSVP.

If you know what you plan to bring to the picnic, please include that information in your message.

Please feel free to come and go as your schedule allows! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact any member of the Search Committee.
