55 ALIVE

If you're 55 and enjoy fellowship and fun together, then this is the group for you! Get to know some of your fellow church family!

Monthly Fun/Lunch:

We gather the third Thursday of each month in the Ruehl Building  for our fun day/lunch day. Be sure to watch the church bulletin & your email each month for information on the monthly program. Bring a friend! Come and fellowship with us! Call the church office (256-734-0344) to let us know you are coming so we can prepare for you.

9:30  fun time begins

11:00 program begins

11:30 devotion followed by lunch

Monthly Travel:

55Alive Travel Group takes to the highways and byways typically the fourth Thursday of each month for an exciting adventure with a FUN group! Call the office (256-734-0344) to sign up for trips.

Just a couple of notes about roadtrips:

All major roadtrips can be paid for in installments. Watch the church bulletin and your email for dates trips have to be paid in full.

All trips should be paid in full by the day of the trip. $5 per person is added to each trip to offset the cost of gas.

Being good stewards of what God has bestowed to each of us and to our church, please keep in mind most trips require partial down-payment or full payment just to reserve the date and time. If you sign up to go and can’t when the time comes, please try to find someone to take your place if you have already been paid for—or--- you were in the original count when the trip was reserved. When I have to call a number in, that is the number I am required to pay for upon our arrival. There are very few exceptions to this.  I know things happen, folks get sick and plans change. Some things you just can’t help. But what we don’t want is the church to be paying for empty spots.

Not all trips require payment up front. Some do and I don’t like that either.

Looking forward to exploring with you this year!
