Ark Encounter Trip (Register by April 14th)
PACESETTERS PROPOSED TRIP
Pacesetters are proposing a trip to Williamstown KY to see the Ark Encounter in September 2026, the 24th-27th. Cost is approximately $800 per person. The cost covers bus, room, Ark Encounter, Creation Museum, Riverboat and meals. [FYI - There are (affordable) scooter and wheelchair rentals available at the Ark Encounter.] The costs may be higher depending on how many people actually go and how much you spend on meals.
Invite your PWB’S (Pacesetter-wanna-be’s) & friends who might want to “chaperone” our Pacesetters. Reach out to your neighbors and community. Let’s drum up some interest. A small bus with a bathroom will hold 38 people, and a large bus with a bathroom will hold 52 people. There’s not much cost difference between the two bus sizes so we may want to take the larger bus if we can get close to 38 people going.
A sign-up sheet is located on the bulletin board by the first-floor elevator. You can also sign-up by calling the church office or using the website. A soft deadline for sign up is Tuesday, April 14th. Everyone is welcome!
