Big Picnic Looms
At Kennydale, Wn.

The First Baptist church of
Kennydale, Washington, is busy
making preparations for its Sec
ond annual picnic, Thursday, June
10. The picnic as usual will be
held in the park, adjacent to the
church and expects to climax their
| big success of year ago.
The Little Church by the Side
of the Road is nationally known
for it's quick rise from obscurity.
1t is unique. Tt sits on the high
way and awaits the coming of
friends and all mankind with open
arms. And what a welcome. Its
picnic proved the most elaborate
of its kind in the history of King
County, despite that it will house
less than 100 persons.
Annually the Little Church reen-
acts the parable of the fishes. They
feed one thousand with the same
ease and facility as they do 100.

little band of followers have sue
cessfully weathered storms which
would have swamped the less adj

Tiers God has brought to their
aid the mite of the blind, the lame
and the halt, as well as the more
generous financial contributions of

The fatted calf, shoats and fowl
are already being made ready for
the feast of the Wilderness, which
promises to eclipse by far the big
feast a year ago. Rev. Swancy
said today his big concern was
for the kiddies who found so much
pleasure at the feast. Special ar
engagements are again being made;
the big picnic of the Little Church
is already assured.
Thursday, June 10 has been de-
clared holiday. The Feast of the
Wilderness and the Second Annual
Picnic of the First Baptist Church
of Kennydale is the biggest COM
ing event.
