Evangelistic Outreach Planned for July 1st

Dear Friends,

We are planning, Lord Willing, to hold our first Asheville-area Evangelistic Outreach on Saturday, July 1st in Fletcher Park and the surrounding area. If you are interested, we are planning to meet at the church in Greenville at 9 AM. We plan to drive up together to Fletcher Park. For those in the Asheville area, we will plan to meet at the picnic area in the park around 10:30 AM.

Fletcher Park is located about 1/4 mile from Highway 25 on Howard Gap Road in Fletcher, NC. A map of the location is available here.

Once we arrive at the Park, we are planning to distribute leaflets and canvass the neighbourhoods surrounding the park in the morning. At around noon, we plan to have a fellowship lunch and recreation time (there is a disc golf course in the park along with soccer fields and ball parks). This will be followed in the afternoon by some canvassing in the park with everything wrapping up around 2-3 PM.

For those coming, please remember to pack a picnic lunch (or be prepared to buy some fast food).

John will co-ordinate the event together with Steve and others from Grace including some members from the college group.

If you have any questions or if you plan to come please email john [at] gbctaylors.org or call the church.

Bible Study Update

This is just a quick update on our progress regarding the establishment of a Bible Study in the Hendersonville/Fletcher/Asheville area which is part of our outreach plan for the area.

John and I along with our good friend Mike H. (who was visiting us) did a whirlwind tour of the Fletcher/Asheville area and visited a number of possible Bible study locations including the Fairfield Inn and the Lutheridge Retreat Center.


After consulting with the locals in our little group and the elders at Grace we settled on Fletcher Park where we will be meeting in the summer months beginning July 7th. We are in the process of booking dates, so these might change but here is a tentative schedule for the Bible Study in Fletcher Park. for Summer 2006.

July 7th - First Meeting!
July 21st
August 4th
August 18th
September 1st
September 15th

We hope to also schedule some outreach and evangelistic events around these Bible Studies so stay tuned to the blog for updates.
