New members were introduced, birthdays were celebrated (including an 89th!), many pasta salads were consumed, and the kiddos couldn’t have been more excited to be outside. Thank you to all who planned, participated, and brought food, and thank you to Alex W. for the pics!
Our hope for these special Sundays is that they help remind us of the simplicity and beauty of the Christian worship and fellowship that we have an opportunity to share in each and every Sunday, even those 50 Sundays of the year we meet in a church building.
The next Church in the Park is tentatively scheduled for September 15th at Vlasis Park. In the meantime, you can find our church family worshiping and fellowshipping together each Sunday at 10 AM at 115 New Ballwin Rd.

The Fellowship Team has determined that the weather forecast for Sunday morning is favorable enough to proceed as planned! The forecast for Sunday morning itself is clear and 70+ degrees, though we will still need to be cautious regarding any muddy areas from the heavy rains tonight. There is a very outside chance we will pivot to a plan B (same schedule including the potluck, but at the building), but if that’s the case you will receive further communication by 3:00 PM Saturday. No news is good news!
Fellowship and coffee begins at 9:30 AM.
Worship begins at 10:00 AM.
Potlucklunch to follow worship.
Meat and dessert are provided.
Bring a chair, a side dish, and your drinks.
Make sure you download the Order of Worship which includes the “1st Peter Readings, Reflections & Communion” handout
Where: Vlasis Park, Pavilion #1 (different than Fall CitP). This spot is level and provides accessibility to adjacent restrooms and parking.
From Lafayette, go East on Manchester until you reach Lowes. At Reis Road/Seven Trails, turn Left (North) on Seven Trails, into Vlasis Park. Take an immediate Left, and then an immediate Right. The restrooms and Pavilion 1 are on either side of the primary parking lot.
Parking: There are 38 spots in the nearest parking lot–please leave these spots for those who may not be able to walk as far. Additional open parking is up the hill to the South, between the restrooms and Manchester Road. This is where the former building was raised.
Virtual Worship Note: Assuming we stick with Plan A, we are not able to offer a virtual/Zoom worship option this Sunday. The handout will be posted on the website by Sunday morning, and as we have done in the past Kyle will provide a video recap in the Scattering email on Monday of our overall time together and the handout/discussion out of 1 Peter.
Please take extra precautions with little ones. Pavilion 1 is situated near two large ponds.
