Seniors on the Road
The Men’s Ministry, Seniors on The Road, and the Mighty Men’s Class are sponsoring a trip to the Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary on Saturday, July 22, 2023.
This will be an experience like no other. It will surprise you, terrify you, and make you wonder what it would’ve been like to be locked up in Brushy for the rest of your God-given life.
The cost is $40 per person which includes $30 for a private guided group tour and $10 for gas. We will be having lunch on the property at the Warden’s Table Restaurant. That cost is your choice.
See the Seniors Bulletin Board in the downstairs lobby for itinerary and sign-up.
*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************Upward Fundraiser
Due to the rising cost of the Upward Program and the competitive costs of area basketball/cheerleading programs, we have been presented with an opportunity to help with an Upward Offering during the month of July. Funds donated will offset the cost for families, as the participants learn about Christ, develop skills and good sportsmanship. Our goal: $5,400.00. To date: $905.00

The Table Ministry
Are you looking to grow in your love and understanding of Christ while building intentional relationships with your church sisters? Then join the Table! Six women of all ages gather around a host’s table for dinner once a month for six months to answer questions designed to point each other closer to Christ and grow in our relationships with one another. Sign-ups begin today, but don’t wait! There are only a limited number of seats. Contact Cara Waddell or Amy Herington for more information.
