| Ironman Weekend |
September 24-25 |
Ironman Weekend is just over a week away!
We are looking forward to sharing a fun-filled weekend with over 3,000 athletes and their families and friends as they come to downtown Augusta to participate in the world's largest Half Ironman.
We will open our River Room doors at 5
AM on Sunday, September 25th and invite athletes for coffee, water, and refreshments. Athletes will also be invited to go to the sanctuary for prayer if they need a quiet space before their race. The church will be open throughout the morning. We invite you to join us and show our guests our wonderful Saint Paul's hospitality. You can do that with a friendly welcome, by guiding them to the rest rooms, or by sitting and enjoying coffee and conversation.
After the 11
AM service, please join us by the church gates for Lemonade in the Lawn. We will fellowship and cheer on the runners as they pass the church. Keith Shafer and Cobbs Nixon have planned special music on the church bells to encourage and inspire the runners.
The Ironman event is not only a physical endeavor but also a test of the mind and spirit. It is a gift that we are able to reach out and show the love of God to all of those visiting out neighborhood home. We can't wait to see you next weekend!
In Christ,
Kim Butler and Terry Johnson
