Activity for a congregation picnic

[myvalk]

Having a Congregation picnic in two months, anybody have any ideas for any kind of activity that we can have such as interviewing some elders or giving clues and guessing which Brother assist it is?

While things like you mentioned can be fun, we need to keep in mind that a 'Congregation picnic' is not a meeting. It is a time to enjoy food, association and relax.

 

I have been to some gatherings that made people feel uneasy because all of the activities made it feel like Q&A meeting parts and, since people hadn't come to the gathering to be quizzed, many left as soon as the food was served.

 

Things like having live music - it can be a mixture of theocratic and secular music - can be fun. Likewise, physical games like horseshoes, cornhole, darts and the like help the older ones feel welcome since they can't play football or other high-energy activities.

 

Having a Bible themes skit, especially if done semi-satire, can be fun for those in the skit as well as the audience.
