Back to School Events

Once again we are planning some fun activities to help our children get excited about coming to Sunday School this fall!!!  We often hear that children are reluctant to come to Sunday School because they don’t know others in the class, haven’t met their teachers, etc.  So-  on August 15 and 22 we will host “class parties” for each age-level so that the children can meet each other and make friends before Sunday School begins again on August 29.  We hope parents will attend the parties also to get acquainted with each other!!  Mark these dates on your calendar and plan to be part of these fun events!

Smoke on the MountainFELLOWSHIP MINISTRY SPONSORS TRIP

TO MURRY’S DINNER THEATER

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 26 5:30 P.M.

$25 per person includes dinner, show, tax, and tip

Reservations and money need to be in to the church office by Sunday, August 29.  Buses will be available for those who need a ride from the church.

Set in the 1930s, this musical tale introduces the singing Sanders family, who perform their traditional and bluegrass gospel songs for the members of the Mount Pleasant Baptist Church in Mount Pleasant, NC. Pastor Oglethorpe welcomes the family to the church, where their individual stories and beliefs are shared during the concert. The audience serves as the members of the congregation.

The score of Smoke on the Mountain consists of almost thirty gospel tunes, all of which could have been performed at the time by such a group. There is a pleasant mixture of energetic rousing numbers, plaintive hymns, and soulful praise songs. The songs vary from the well known, such as "Amazing Grace" and "I'll Fly Away," to the more obscure ones, such as "Filling Station" and "Christian Cowboy".

Hallelujah!  Join us for this foot-stompin’, banjo-pickin’, bluegrass gospel musical comedy, where the hymns, hilarity and homemade treats will surely make a believer out of anyone!

Make your reservation by submitting the form below.
