October Funtastics

On October 11, the Funtastics will visit Victory Junction in Randleman, NC. Victory Junction is a Summer camp developed by the Petty family for children with fatal, or serious health problems. The goal of the camp is to get the children to forget about, for a week, their health conditions and just be kids. They do this through a wide variety of activities which include bowling, acting, archery and even repelling. There is much more, and they are extremely successful in obtaining their goal.

After our tour, we will have lunch at the Main Street South Steak House.

The bus will leave the church at 9:15 a.m. Register your attendance with the Church office by October 8.
