A Great Day for a Picnic!

On Sunday, July 31st, Denver United hosted its third annual all-church picnic.  With the congregation having grown to about a thousand, the event was moved to City Park in order to accomodate everyone.  It was a great opportunity to fellowship with friends and meet some new folks as well.  Some played volleyball, football and baseball, while others enjoy resting in the shade.  Many of the kids were thrilled to play in the nearby fountains behind the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. 

In the weeks leading up the picnic, everyone was asked to bring either a side dish or a dessert depending on their last name.  Pastor Rob Brendle often joked in those weeks about the importance of not bringing tuna-based dishes to the picnic, especially tuna noodle casserole.  It was in this light that the self-proclaimed Society for Casserole Equality stealthily placed the fixings for a tuna noodle casserole on the potluck table accompanied by a creatively worded petition.
