Finch Series
The Finch Outreach Ministry Committee is pleased to announce the Finch Series of events for 2025. Designed to appeal to a variety of audiences, the series will consist of three events. September 13 will feature Nikita Koloff, a former professional wrestler who now runs Koloff for Christ Ministries. He has preached in over 1200 churches across the United States and internationally. He will share his testimony and is sure to be an inspiration.
On October 18, we will host the Second Chance Bluegrass Band, a bluegrass group committed to sharing the Gospel message. They delight audiences with their intricate harmonies while pleasing bluegrass critics with their high-energy acoustical music polish.
Finally, on November 22, we will present “Silent Night: A Song From the Heart”, an original play by Doug Brown, Chair of the Theatre Department at High Point University. This will be a dinner theatre event in Jarrett Hall. We will need Memorial members for this! Auditions will be held in early September for actors and crew.
Watch further information on all these events in the next several weeks.
