How About A Little Wine?

North Carolina's becoming quite the spot for wineries and vineyards. And here in Alamance County, there are some 5 wineries alone.

We're going to visit one on Saturday, August 12th. We'll meet at the church at 5 p.m., and leave from here. (The winery is probably 20 minutes, in southern Alamance county).

Set the time aside, and come on for a fun outing.

For more information about the winery, here's their website:

Vacation Bible School

A quick reminder --

Vacation Bible School will be held this Saturday, July 29, beginning at 10 a.m., and ending at 3 p.m. Lunch will be provided.

VBS is a chance for a lot of folks.

First, it's an evangelism opportunity for children in the neighborhood. We bring the gospel to them.

Second, it's a chance for teaching and learning for children in the congregation, and those (think grandchildren, etc.) associated with the congregation.

Third, it's a chance for adults/older children to learn to serve. If you've wanted to "do something" at church, and hesitated because you didn't feel like you could make a long-range committment, here's a chance to do something that's for a day. And a chance to learn how things are done, and perhaps prepare you for further service later on. (Plus, it's fun. Plus, you get some pizza for lunch. : )

Even if you haven't already volunteered, just show up Saturday morning and help out. Or call Amy Huffman (336-227-0958) for more information.
