It’s that time of year again! Musician Bob Schlief will be back to entertain us, and we have a new caterer. HyVee Barlows will be providing boxed lunches with ham, turkey, and veggie sandwiches, potato salad, chips, and an apple. If you choose the gluten-free option, your sandwich will be on gluten-free bread. AND, we will have homemade pie for dessert! There will be a wooden box out for free-will donations to help defray the cost. Please use this link to sign up online. You can also sign up on the sheet in Brackenridge, or you can call, text, or email Cindy Heins at (507) 993-5824 or heins.cynthia@gmail.com. We will be in the courtyard (inside if it is raining) following the 10:30 service. Please bring a lawn chair for yourself and one to share if you can!

In conjunction with the picnic…

The Third Annual Great Calvary Pie Bake-Off

Come one, come all to the third annual Great Calvary Pie Bake-Off on September 15! All homemade pies baked by Calvary parishioners are welcome. The Greatest 2024 Pie Baker at Calvary will be crowned in the courtyard following the picnic! Then, we will all be able to sample the delicious fruits of our pie bakers’ labors.  To enter, just have your pie at Calvary by 10 am the day of the picnic with your name on the bottom of your pie plate. We are going to judge the pies starting at 10 am to give our panel of celebrity judges time to finish before the 10:30 service, so please don’t be late. The rules are simple. Your pie must be homemade by you. There is no age limit for our bakers! We welcome all pies! Let the baking begin!
