We are now headed to Pentecost, which on this year will be observed May 24. Pentecost marks the arrival of the Holy Spirit as recorded in Acts 2. It is also the beginning of the Church.
Our mission is to know God and make Him known to all people.

Day Trip
Ever want to see new places in NC? Hopefully, this day trip will let you do just that. On May 28, we are planning a churchwide day trip to the Aloha Safari Park (zoo) in Cameron and a visit to the Stagville Historic Site (a plantation from the 1800’s) in Durham. Cost is $50 per person and includes transportation, zoo admission (including tour guide and group tractor ride through the park), and admission and guided tour at Stagville. Breakfast and dinner are on your own. An itinerary (including menus) and signup sheet are in the Welcome Center. Signup and payment deadline is May 24.
