This year for our Friday Evening Meal the menu will be Pizza, Chicken Fingers/Strips, Salad, Brownies & Cookies, & Beverage (Lemonade, Tea, or Water). The meal is free; but please indicate on the registration form how many children and adults so that we will know how many to expect. YOU MUST PRE-REGISTER BY 7/15/2026.
Come join us for our Alumni Association Business Meeting to get updates from the committees about ongoing projects. We will have a drawing for some exciting door prizes, so make sure you stay until the end of the meeting.

We have many items for sale at the registration desk; stop on by and make sure that you don’t miss out on any item. This year we have a new mug featuring “The Bell”. Remember to bring cash or your checkbook for purchases because we do not accept bankcards to keep the cost of our merchandise at a reasonable price. Also, we are continuing with the Silent Auction, so we need your donations for auction items. All items for the auction should be brought by Saturday, August 1st, and the items should have a minimum value of $10.00. The auction will close at 1:30 pm on Sunday and the bid results will be announced at 2:00 pm (pay and pick up items at this time). Please contact Mark Wilkerson at (919)358-0320 or Cecelia Wilkerson at (919)314-7704 for any questions about the auction.
You will not want to miss the church service on Sunday morning, Alumna, Martha Berndt Foster, will be our speaker. Please come and support Martha. Shepherd’s Voice (Danny & Jane Brown, & Sana) will be providing the special music.
