Ski Trip at Beech Mountain!

Hey Everybody!

Ski trip at Beech Mountain on February 24th! Here is the info from Anne Rogers:

Beech Mtn. Ski Trip, Saturday, Feb.24th. Cost per person is $51 which includes lift ticket, ski rental & group lesson. (Lunch is extra or you can bring a pack lunch.)  Meet in the church parking lot at 10:00 that morning to carpool/caravan.  Group rates are available for groups of 15 or more.  (If we don't have 15, the rates will go up.)  We plan to ski from 12:30-4:30, but will need to get there early enough to go through rentals, eat lunch etc.  Please contact Anne Rogers at 474-3796 or rogera2@k12tn.net if interested.

Souper Bowl 2007

We raised $279 for Souper Bowl Sunday! Check our profile here. Congratulations! Now you get to decide where we will send the money. Here are some options:

• Food for the Multitude: First Pres. participates with other congregations in Elizabethton to prepare meals once per week for people who need them. We take a turn about once every 5-6 weeks at St. Thomas Episcopal Church. We served nearly 300 meals last time. The money will help buy food!

• Three Cents a Meal: The money would go to Holston Presbytery to be distributed to hunger ministries throughout Northeast Tennessee.
  

• Area Resource Ministry (A.R.M): This is a cooperative ministry of churches in Elizabethton to provide food, clothing, pay heating bills and so forth for folks in need in Carter County.

• First Pres., Food Vouchers: Every now and then people come to the church requesting a food voucher. We give them a voucher for $25 at White's in Elizabethton.
  

Do you know of other local hunger ministries? If so, comment to this post and we will add yours to the list, then take a vote at the end of the week.
