No.

We have monthly "fellowship" (social) events of various types. But I don't recall one specifically as a "picnic."

We used to have an annual event that was essentially an outdoor service (held in a covered pavilion, because the weather didn't always play nicely) followed by a bring-and-share meal and games. We stopped doing it because people would come for the service but not stay around, and it seemed like a waste of money to pay several hundred dollars to rent a nice location if all we were going to do was have a regular service and then leave.

At my previous church, they rented out a community park and everyone brought a pot luck dish, but also, certain groups/committees were in charge of things (ice, chicken, games, etc). It was a huge event.

At my current church when I first started attending, they did a picnic at a park, but I only attended one time. It was too much work for people who were older, so they stopped doing it.

No we don't. When the Winter Texans are here, we hold monthly potlucks.
