Upcoming Events
Gravatt Golden Day, June 16
 |
On the trail at Gravatt's first "Golden Day" in March |
Gravatt's next Golden Day, a day of education and renewal for adults 55 and older, is scheduled for Monday, June 16.
Our focus verse for the day will be John 4:14, which offers us eternal life if we drink of the water Jesus offers. What a perfect beginning to a glorious day as we enjoy and learn more about the other gift of water God has given us.
The day will continue with an easy guided nature walk around Sparkleberry Trail. This hike will take you through beautiful pine uplands and Atlantic white cedar bogs around Lake Henry. The learning focus of the hike will be on how water-the abundance or lack of it-impacts the beautiful creation God has provided.
Finish your morning with a nature craft or go canoeing on peaceful Lake Henry after which you can enjoy your meal outside or in Stewart Hall. After lunch relax in a rocking chair or enjoy additional activities. Our day will conclude with our featured educational speaker, Dr. Bud Badr, whose topic will be Water Issues and Concerns in South Carolina.
Registration is requested by June 2. Cost is only $25 per person. Groups bringing more than four participants and sending registration forms together may receive each fifth registration for free. Registration forms are available at www.bishopgravatt.org or by calling 803.648.1817.
