When Pigs Fly BBQ and Carshow

This Saturday Aug 20th is a big day in in the process of building the orphanage in Honduras.  For the last 2 months work on the orphanage has been at a stand still.  We are much further along than we could have ever imagined.  Over half of the block structure is complete, and the foundation for the other side is well on its way.  We Are very thankful for the support this project has received by friends, family, and brothers and sisters in Christ.  We understand that the economy is a scary, but God is bigger than any problem we may be facing.  This Saturday we are hosting a day of fundraising with many chances to come and be a part of God plan in this village town of Honduras.

Trinity of Fairview we will be hosting a 3-3 basketball tournament at Newbridge Baptist.  This is open to anyone age 21 or under.  Entry fee is $30 per team with up to 4 players.  Please call Tanner Narron @ 828-458-2440.  Please call by Friday @ 7 to enter.

There will be a car show held from 10am until 3:30pm  Entry fee will be $10 and you may register at the show from 10am until 12pm.  Judging will be from noon to3pm with trophies awarded at 3:30pm.  This is an open show for all makes and models of cars and bikes.  To enter or to get more information please call Andy Plemmons @ 828-775-6646.

Family Festival will be open from 10am-4pm.  There will be Inflatables, cotton candy, sno cones, face painting, and more for you and your family to take in as you enjoy the car show and basketball tourney.  We will have concessions available as well until 3:30.  something

Starting at 4pm come and get the best meal deal in Asheville for the day.  We will be serving BBQ, hushpuppies, coleslaw, baked beans, and a drink for $5.  We will have take out available and will even deliver for orders over 10 plates or $50 dollars.  To call ahead and order you may call 828-279-3021.  We will be serving until 8:00pm.

This day holds great promise for this project.  Construction is waiting on funding,  the only thing keeping the structure from completion in 11 weeks is money,  $19,900 is what we project to finish this phase of building.  This is an extremely large sum of money, however we serve an amazing God.  We pray that this Saturday would make a great dent in this.  We are hoping for a great turnout for all the events of this day.  If you are looking for something to do next Saturday come join us and bring the family as we make this dream of a home reality for 40 children in Honduras.

Always remember that if you cannot make it to the event you can always send a tax-deductible  donation via Pay Pal at www.carpentersheart.org or send a check to Carpenters Heart @ PO Box 1220 Weaverville NC 28787.  All funds donated go directly to the mission field, no person within this organization receives a salary or help in funding there trips from any donated money.

Operation Soul Saver 2011

                                                                   Back 2 School
For kids it brings either excitement or dread.   For teachers it can mean back to the grind.  For parents around Madison and Northern Buncombe County it can mean the added financial strain of shoes, backpacks, and other supplies.  In the book of James it references "what good is it if you see a brother naked and do not cloth him".  It is with this in mind we look forward to Saturday August 13th and a chance to love our brothers and sisters in Christ by trying to meet physical needs in order to share the Gospel.  Over the last 3 years  Operation Soul Saver has put shoes on the feet of over 300 children and assisted in suppling the necessities for school.  This year from 4-6pm we will be eagerly awaiting the chance to serve anyone in need with what we have while it lasts.  We will be distributing shoes, backpacks, and school supplies to any who need a hand.  This will take place in Marshall NC at Enon Baptist church.  This ministry is only possible thanks to the support of many area churches including, Enon, Barnardsville, Morgan Hill, Flat Creek, and many others.   There is still time to donate items to be used in this ministry by dropping it off either at Enon Baptist, Barnardsville Baptist, or calling Andy Plemmons @ 828-775-6646 for pick up.  
Join us this Saturday August 13th in loving like Jesus!
