As the sun rises this Memorial day so shall we rise, and begin the day’s suffering via the nationwide tradition of the workout Murph.

Cover the Cost of a Vet:
Memorial Day is a day in which those who have served burn over the brothers they have lost and those who have not served respect those who gave their lives… but mostly burn BBQ. We aim to create an inferno so bright that all those who gather around it may experience the same level of heat. Just as Jesus bridged the gap between heaven and Earth by walking among us, our Church will follow his example by providing a way for those who have not served to walk among those who have. By sharing stories we can connect with one another; through suffering we become bonded together and with salvation comes an everlasting peace that every soul longs for. The $25 for this registration will cover the cost of a veteran attending the camp out. $25 Ticket + $1.07 Fees = $27.09/ticket more info...
