church picnics

Parish outdoor gatherings

Church picnics are outdoor gatherings organized by a religious congregation, typically featuring food, games, and socializing.

They serve as community-building events where members share potluck dishes and children play.

The phrase sometimes appears as shorthand for wholesome, family-friendly activities: This language isn't appropriate for church picnics.
