The United Methodist Men are opening up their meeting Thursday to the church. Speaker will be Rev. Nick Schindler. Rev. Schindler has carried a 75 pound wooden cross across the United States for the past two years. (read information about Nick below).
The meeting will begin with a dinner at 6pm this Thursday October 8th. The menu for the evening will be: Baked steak, mashed potatoes, gravy, salad, green beans, and triple brownies for dessert. Sweet tea to drink. After the meal Rev. Schindler will be speaking about his journey across the United States.
It is very important that you let either Jerry Meadows, John Fleek or Jay Ripley
know if you plan to attend so that enough food maybe ordered. Dinner will be $10 each and that covers both the meal and the program.
Pastor Nick Schindler is a well-known individual who spent two years walking across the United States carrying a 75-pound wooden cross to advocate for the homeless and share a message of faith. He will have the 75 pound cross with him, so that you if would like to touch it or hold it, you may.
