As we savor the flavors, let's also relish in the memories and stories that have shaped our church community. This event is a time to connect, reminisce, and create new memories with fellow congregants, friends, and loved ones.

But the Holy Smokes BBQ isn't just about the food – it's a celebration of our church's journey, accomplishments, and the vibrant community that has grown together over the years. We'll have special moments throughout the event to honor our past, appreciate the present, and embrace the future of our church family. It is also about that moment to remember and never forget that the freedom we enjoy today was never free.

From heartfelt speeches to joyful music, this is an opportunity to celebrate our shared faith, resilience, and the impact we've had on the lives of countless individuals. Together, we'll create an atmosphere of gratitude, love, and togetherness that embodies the spirit of our church.
