Summer’s End Picnic – Sat, August 26th
Final picnic of the summer, but not for the year!
Come enjoy some sweet tea and watermelon and kids playing in the last days of summer sun. Share your stories of vacations and family visits and the hopes and challenges for the coming school year.
Please bring a main dish, side dish to share along with serving utensils. Drinks and cold water will be available along with plates, bowls, and utensils. Several benches and tables will be available as well as an assortment of lawn chairs, but you are encouraged to bring yours. Power is only available for lights and not for food warmers.
We’ll be starting a bit later this time around in order to beat the heat.

Date & Time
Sat, August 26th, 5:00 – 9:00
Our events are located in the meadow at Steele Haven under the big event tent located there. Parking is designated and visitors are strongly encouraged not to park along the road, along the driveway, or in the bottom land near the creek.
Feel free to arrive early to help setup or to meet others, but everyone attending should plan to arrive by 6:00 as we will give thanks for our food and eat at that time.
Rules & Regulations
This event is intended to be family-friendly and Jesus-honoring. And while we make no judgement about their use, we ask that you bring no alcohol or drugs and that no minors may carry or use firearms or weapons (sorry boys, those sheath knives have to stay at home). The event and all attendees are required to stay in the meadow and are not permitted to go up to the barn or the main houses or into the woods or on the train tracks. The boundary of our property is the driveway and guests are asked to remain on the east side at all times. There is an historic cemetery on the property and attendees are encouraged to respectfully view the headstones and the history that they tell. A portable toilet will be available so boys, please don’t go off to pee in the woods. All children should strive to be gentlemen and ladies towards one another and parents are encouraged to chaperone any children at the event as though they were their own.
More Info
If you have further questions, please send email to info@jcfamilies.org or call or text (423) 212-9014 and preface your text with your full name and we’ll get back to you.
Invite Other Families
We are sure that there are other wonderful families who share our common faith in Jesus and desire to grow healthy families together, so please feel free to invite a family to join us. Or maybe there is a family who are drawing nearer to Jesus and you would like to invite them as well. Please do so!
Winsteads will attend.
