Walk To End Hunger
It's time to gear up for our 2nd annual Briarfest Walk to End Hunger! We are partnering with King Soopers and Academy Christian Church to collect food for Mercy's Gate, a local ministry. Bring your donation to the collection bin in the narthex, or make a purchase and donation directly at the Union/Briargate Pkwy King Soopers.
Plan to walk with us on Saturday, Sept. 9, beginning at 9:00 AM. We'll trek from the west grassy field of the church, down Austin Bluffs Pkwy, to King Soopers, where we will accept the King Soopers donations, returning to the church. Baby strollers and wagons are encouraged...a perfect family activity! Sign up on briarfest.net, and join in the fun, all to support our neighbors in need!
