Brothers in Christ, you’re invited to fellowship with other men of Alliance in God’s creation as they hike the Tanawha Trail. They’ll begin at the parking lot of Beacon Heights and walk to the Linn Cove Viaduct off the Blue Ridge Parkway. Plan for a 3.5-mile hike that lasts about 2-3 hours. Meet at the Stack Rock Hiking Trail entry at 9am Saturday, June 26. They’ll carpool to the trail entrance.

Join us for a family movie night in the auditorium as we project a film on the big screen. Complete with popcorn, drinks, and family fun! Bring your little ones. Kick back and enjoy the show!

Join us for an interactive workshop on how to identify heresy taught by Pastor Scott Andrews. False teaching was not just an ancient threat to the church; it is a perpetual threat to the true, life-saving message of the gospel. Come learn how to discern the difference between the life-giving message of Christ and heresy.

Host International students (fully vaccinated) for the weekend! July 16-18 the International Friendship Ministries chapter at University of South Carolina will bring 20 students to spend a few days in our area enjoying some cooler weather and mountain activities. This is the same group that usually comes to snow ski in February and since this year's trip was a 'casualty of Covid', we decided to invite them in the summer! They will arrive Friday, July 16th evening, spend Saturday doing various activities and Sunday morning attend worship service with us. You can host one or more students OR if you'd rather lead an activity or do an activity with a group you can do that also. To be a host home you need to pick them up at church Friday night, provide Saturday breakfast/supper and Sunday breakfast. Please let the church office know how many students you want, what gender and if you want to participate in Saturday activities.

Need Old Vehicles for Beater or Better

Alliance needs your old vehicle for our ministry, Beater or Better. We give old vehicles to people in need in our community. The vehicle doesn't have to be running (we know mechanics to get ‘em running again). If you have an old vehicle you want to give away, email the office at abfoffice@abfboone.org.

The Chosen Ministry has a new way for you to be involved in serving and caring for families going through the adoption and foster care process. Through this program, you are assigned a specific family to care for. The commitment is for a year. You provide them with meals, rides, house work, or whatever is helpful for them. If this is something you or a life group might be interested in, please fill out this form. You will then be assigned a family that is the best fit for you. Please consider helping to show God’s love to one of these families by walking alongside them this year.

One of our Elders, Barrie Winn, will be leading a group through The Colson Fellows Program. This is a 10-month program for Christians to take a “deep dive” into worldview and culture, learning how to engage the culture with the Christian worldview and developing plans for their personal ministry. The program runs from August through the following May, and applications for the 2021-22 program are now being accepted. Questions? Contact Barrie Winn at barrie.winn@gmail.com.
