TWO Big Events!!!

RALLY DAY – Sunday, September 7

• Linda McFarlin and ten re-enactors will make the period of our church's founding come alive as they join us for worship and fellowship. The characters in McFarlin's drawings will jump off the page. They will talk with us and demonstrate what it was like to live in the period between 1700 and 1870. A settler family will show us how they survived and how they had fun. Native Americans, mountain men, and militia men will tell us how they saw this period of rapid change.
• Food (subs, chips, drinks and cookies) will be available during this time for a nominal cost.
• Come and join us for this unique event!
