Matthews Alive This Weekend!

We hope to see you at Matthews Alive this weekend! The festival is a Labor Day weekend celebration held in downtown Matthews to support local non-profit organizations. There is music, food, rides and local craftsmen selling their goods.

Our church's location provides a perfect opportunity for outreach at Matthews Alive. First Baptist hosts a picnic area for families to eat in the shade. Some members of our group plan to be there to pass out fliers promoting our upcoming event. We'd love to see you there! If you are looking for a new church home or to join a Bible study for people your age, come by to chat!

Sidewalk Prophets at Stumptown Park

We had a great time last night at the Sidewalk Prophets concert. New Life 91.9 hosted the band at Stumptown Park as a back-to-school celebration.  We sat and enjoyed the cooler end-of-summer weather as the Sidewalk Prophets sang some of their radio hits and even included their version of Amazing Grace.

When the concert ended, we ended the night by heading to our new Journey Group favorite, Sweet Frogs, for some frozen yogurt. Yum!
