What Our Picnics Have Taught Us About Belonging
Blankets, balloons and open Bibles: reflections on how simple gatherings have grown a real sisterhood.

It started with a few blankets on the grass, some flowers in glass bottles and a handful of Bibles. Today, our picnics are one of the places women tell us they first felt they truly belonged.
And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together…
Belonging grows slowly
Real friendship rarely happens in a single afternoon. It grows as we keep showing up — sharing food, sharing stories, praying for each other and remembering what was shared last time.
Someone saved me a seat. That's when I knew I wasn't just attending — I was part of something.
If you have been on the edges, wondering whether there is room for you: there is. Bring a friend, bring yourself, and come as you are.
Grow with us — there's a seat for you.
