W.W.W.  We will have “Wild Wacky Wednesday’s again this summer!   Beginning June 10th, we will gather each Wednesday for a fun filled excursion to area places for playtime, devotions and exploring God’s world!  All rising 1st graders thru rising 6th graders are invited to join in the action! If your child is a rising Kindergartener or under school age and wants to participate they are welcome to come along BUT a parent or adult must accompany them (this is mainly due to car seat restrains and the young age of the child).  We will meet at the church parking lot to embark on our adventures!  Please watch your mail box for a parent letter and more details. Below is our schedule for each Wednesday in June…

  • July 8th: 10:00 am – 1:30pm    Circle M Safari Park   
    The Wild Wacky Wednesday group will go to Circle M Safari Park in Shelby for a hands-on visit with the animals and creatures of all kinds.  We will be able to feed and pet the animals at the farm and see the new babies born on the farm. There is a wagon ride, playground and picnic area.  Bring your “Pic-Nic” lunch and wear your farm clothes / overalls and sunhat and boots or play shoes.  The cost is $15.00 per child to ride and get a feed bucket.   Drinks will be provided.
  • ​July 15:    BOWLING STRIKES AT PIN STATION
    Get ready to make strikes at Pin Station Bowling lanes in Newton NC.  We will leave from the church at 9:15 for a 10 am bowling lane reservation.  The cost is $10.00 per person for shoes, 1 game of bowling and a lunch choice of pizza, Hot dog, burger or chicken nuggets and chips and drink.   NOTE:  There is a large arcade area that we will visit after we bowl and eat our lunch!  SO … I know how the group loves these games.  YOU WILL NEED YOUR OWN MONEY FOR ARCADE GAMES OR EXTRA DRINKS!
