church picnic
Parish outdoor gathering
A church picnic is an outdoor social gathering organized by a congregation, typically featuring potluck food, games, and fellowship.
These events strengthen community bonds among members: The annual church picnic draws three generations of families.
The phrase sometimes appears in comparisons suggesting ease or pleasantness: Hiking the canyon was no church picnic.
