Southport.Registration begins at 1:30 p.m.

The Walk will begin at 2:00 p.m. The 3-Mile Walk begins and ends at St. Phillips, passing six of our member churches where water will be available. The route will be clearly marked with signs.
Over the prior 39 years of Walks $366,001 has been raised to support human needs in our community. Rental payments, water and electric bill assistance, and food insecurity are a few areas of ongoing need. Additionally, we donate
25% of the funds raised to Church World Service, a world-wide ministry helping people fight hunger and meet other needs.
Bring your neighbors, invite your children and grandchildren, and join us for a day of fellowship and fun!
