They cancelled the Church picnic again.

Well as you say rain comes in just and unjust so we cannot blame anyone or anything, some people in other places need the rain for the good of their live some has the abundance so we need to pray to God to always protect us and give us the happiness that we need.

Really do you think people are prayiing fo rrain just to ruin your picnic? They should plan on it when it isnt the rainy season I would think. Or does it rain there alot! Hard to make plans to far in advance for it can rain ya out. When I lived in the south we would hav eto just plan to go that day that the sun is shineing and even then y adont know it can rain any time then ya have to take it in doors.

Maybe you can have inside activities as a back up plan next time so the activities are not totally cancel. I know it's not the same, but it beats canceling after all the preparation and anticipation. When stuff happens I usually find other things to do.

Hello dear friend. I feel so bad that you have to have the picnic canceled because of the rain. Yeah, there are also some times when I planned to do something and had to give it up because of something unexpected from happening. It is very disappointing though.

Don't be silly. It's raining because you need it. God gave us brains and expects us to use them. What's wrong with moving the picnic indoors? Have a picnic inside the church and play games and have fun. The only difference is that you would now have a roof over your heads. Be inventive! There are many games you can play inside. Beanbag toss, relay races, word games, who can draw the funniest picture on a blackboard, put on a funny play, have a talent show.

Rain huh, the only place to go is a place hidden from the rain, or you'd have a wet picnic.

Do you not have any contingency plans my friend? Can't the Church hire a hall? Or a place which is indoors, I know it's not the same having a picnic indoors but the fact of the matter is, it's a social affair, a get together and if you only have it if it doesn't rain then you'll never have it! Least if you compromise by having it indoors but that's just my opinion. If it's any consolation here in the UK it rained constantly all day yesterday and all day today, it's more like November! Will they reschedule it for another date this year, as we can still in theory have some nice dry days in the latter part of this month!

Yes we tend to get rain on the weekends alot and that ruins my yard saling. Otherwise rain doesn't bother me much especially if I can stay in. Its great sleeping weather.

Perhaps your church is not pray hard enough :) Last year during our holy procession we experienced a torrential rain with all the decorations being damaged etc.

Why do you blame God for everything that goes wrong in your life? Sometimes, things just happen. Perhaps your church should seek a time that is not the rainy season. Or maybe they should have their picnic indoors and rent a hall. Don't blame God. Blame man.

q)Are all the ungodly people praying for rain a)do you worship a God who answers the prayers of the ungodly???

We used to have one in the next county where they have the nicest little pier and I would go there and just sit and relax. My current boyfriend takes me to his favorite pier and we just sit and relax there. He also likes to fish but lately he hasn't been able to. Our church would go each year, but with the change in leaders we haven't been able to. I used to love going out there each year. But they just won't go any longer. made me feel bad on that.

I am sorry to hear that your church picnic was canceled because of the weather yet again. I think it must have been annoying for you to have only had one church picnic in the last ten years. It seeds the date was put back hoping that there would be dry and sunny weather but that didn't happen quite sadly. In my home country the summer was terrible this year with rainy days and lots of cool days. It was the worst weather in the last 150 years a newspaper report said. Now it is September we are into the autumn now and the days will get colder as it gets closer to winter. Today was really rainy and windy. It certainly wasn't the right kind of weather for a picnic. I went camping in late August and was nervous about the weather. I was lucky because it was cool but mostly dry. At the end of term my toddler son and I were invited to a picnic at a fantastic playground. It would have been canceled if it had rained that day. Luckily it stayed dry and all the children had a very enjoyable time. Good luck with the weather for future picnics my friend.

Something can always go wrong,, this World is far from perfect! Why not just have a Chruch family meal indoors. It doe not have to be a picnic outdoors.. Have someone be in charge of organizing it. Like who is going to bring What food dishes, drinks, desserts, cups, napkins, plastic silverware etc.... Have some in charge of the kids line up some indoor relay games, puzzle solving etc... small prizes could be given away.... Someone else could be in charge of adult games... Or put on a talent show.. Who ever has a skit, song or intrument to play can do so after or before the meal...This can be so much fun and entertaining.... I just thnk that it can be very much fun indoors as well...

That really sucks that they cancelled it. We've been very lucky with our church picnics and they have never been rained out. Too bad they canceled yours. Isn't there a way to still have it during the month of September? I don't see why not. I am not sure where you live, but I doubt it will get really miserable, weatherwise, anywhere, until November or December. Even early October might work for a picnic. Too bad they canceled it. That really stinks!

Sorry to hear the plans were spoiled by rain. Never fails to happen to us as well whenever we plan a camping trip or a day at the park.
