If you wish to drive yourself click here for directions - but turn into the first parking lot at University Baptist Church for the fellowship hall.
Church of the Nations will offer movie night this Friday, August 01 starting at 7:00 p.m. in the chapel at University Baptist Church.
After talking with several people we chose “Meet the Robinsons” which is an animated movie that is enjoyable for adults and children. (Lots of science and engineering in the movie!) We encourage families to come and join us for this summer tradition.
Admission is free! Also there will be free drinks and snacks and delicious popcorn.
You can drive yourself or ride the church bus which will pick up from the usual places on and near campus at 6:45 p.m. (Please note this is half hour earlier than the schedule for English Conversation!)
See you this Friday at the movies!
Church of the Nations will take a group to visit Alligator Bayou this Saturday, June 28.
The trip includes a tour in a covered boat, the alligator snapping turtles, the alligators (which they will feed), and education about Louisiana wetlands and wildlife. We will have a picnic lunch after the visit before we take everyone home.
If you would like to come you must reserve a space - and there are limited spaces. The trip costs about $30 per person so we are asking for $20 per person to help cover the cost of admission and lunch. Children may come if parents promise to watch and take responsibility for them.
People can drive themselves or ride on the church bus. The church bus will pick up from the usual places at 8:30 a.m. We then gather at the church parking lot and leave at 8:45 a.m. Do not be late - either for the bus or to meet us at the church. We will arrive at Alligator Bayou by 9:30 a.m. and the tour will start around 9:45 a.m. The tour lasts about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
Those who join us need to remember that this activity is outdoors and the weather will be hot. So bring sunscreen, insect repellent, sunglasses, cool clothing, and so on.
