We are excited to release our new event, the…

This is a simple and fun event on Saturday, April 3.  It is for families, friends, and small groups of people to do together.  This is not a race or a competition.  There is no start time ro finish.  We simply want to provide a fun event for people to do together.

If you find all the sites, you have a chance to win a gift card from some of the sites you visit.

We have picked 10 sites around the city for you to find using clues of every kind.  Once you figure out where you are going, travel there and take a group picture.  Then you can take your time enjoying the site or head on to the next one.  We promise you will go somewhere you have never been.

First step – get your family or group together.  Next, download the instructions and clues.  The clues are easy enough for every age.  If you have kids, download an additional packet of things for them to do.

We have made pre-printed packets for kids and adults along with some snacks.  You can pick those up at church before Saturday, we can bring them to you, or you can just use the downloads above.  Whatever you want to do, we have made it easy.

Please let us know if you have any questions.  Be safe and enjoy your City-wide Scavenger Hunt!

UPCOMING EVENTS

• The menu for Wednesday night supper is fried chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans, biscuits and dessert.

• The Winston Salem Department of Transportation has commissioned the design of pedestrian safety improvements along Polo Road between University Parkway and Wake Drive.  Come to a drop-in session to learn more and ask questions on Thursday, March 5, 6-7:30 p.m. in Smith Hall.

• Sign up at the Welcome Desk for “Painting with a Twist,” Saturday, March 7.  We will leave the church at 3:30.  The cost is $35/person.  The Youth Mission Team is providing childcare from 3:30 – 8:30 (a generous donation is expected).

• Refugees who have been placed in the United States because they had to flee their homes (more than half are under the age of 18), have left behind their entire way of life and face the daily realities of uncertainty and distress. As Christians, and as members of College Park, we are uniquely positioned to minister to them. Our compassionate response to the physical and emotional needs of refugees must be coupled with a desire to satisfy their spiritual needs through the hope found in Jesus. During the evening of Wednesday, March 11, we will have the opportunity to participate in a simulation to develop a greater understanding about the issues refugees face and to learn what the Bible teaches about our Christian response to refugees. Please sign up to join the experience on March 11.

• During the Week of Prayer for North American Missions, we are all encouraged to pray specifically for church planters who answered God’s call to go and to plant churches. We are encouraged to read their stories and listen to their hearts for their people. As we read their stories, we will hopefully understand our role in helping them to fulfill the Great Commission.  Walkdown for North American Missions, March 8, 2020 

• To raise money for the Appalachian Ministry Project, we are selling delicious, fully-cooked Boston Butts on Saturday, March 28.  All will be sold in advance.  The cost is $40.00 for around 10 pounds of meat.  Tickets are available from Michael Gruver, Josh Hauser, Charlie Jones and the youth. They will be sold on Sundays and Wednesdays. Support the mission by purchasing your own and asking your friends, neighbors, and co-workers to buy a ticket!

• If you would like to place a lily in the sanctuary for Easter Sunday, April 12, please use the order form found at the Welcome Desk and return it to the church office no later than Friday, March 27.  The cost will be $12.00/per plant and this should be paid at the time you order.
