Our Golden Years Ministry welcomes anyone 55 years and older to participate in monthly excursions of fellowship. We enjoy sightseeing and, of course, eating out along with other means of recreation. Some of the places we have visited include Asheville Arboretum, Cradle of Forestry, Shadrack’s Christmas Light Show in Pigeon Forge, bowling at Sky Lanes, picnicking at Lake Tomahawk in Black Mountain, Lake Lure Guided Boat Tour, Bright’s Zoo and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Just a side note about the Lake Lure Guided Boat Tour, we got soaked in an unexpected thunder storm while on the lake but everyone laughed throughout the entire experience and still seemed to enjoy it. That is one trip that will not be forgotten! When a trip is announced a sign up sheet is usually placed on the wall in the church vestibule and is sometimes available at the Senior Lunch on the 2nd Wednesday of each month. Looking forward to many more months of fellowship with our Christian brothers and sisters. For more information, please contact locustgrovebaptistchurch@gmail.com or call 828.645.4977.
