Here it is! Intergenerational Talent Show Application
Starting at 9 a.m. Monday, July 14 and running through Sunday, July 20 we will be taking applications for Intergenerational Talent Show Acts. The show will take place on Sunday, August 3 at 4:00 p.m. If we receive a significant number of submissions, we will have to limit participation. If so, each submitted act will be scored on three things:
- Time of entry of application (earlier you are, the more points you get)
- Number of generations represented in your act (more generations, more points - you must have at least 2 generations in your act to be eligible to perform)
- Uniqueness of your act
Here is the link to register (https://fumcbentonville.shelbynextchms.com/external/form/81e7d3cf-60b9-47c9-b06b-429f9be979ee) You will need to know the names of all the people in your act, what generations they represent, and be able to give us a description of your act.

Mark Your Calendar for Christmas Stories in July
Mark your calendars for our next 4S: Second Saturday Supper and Stories on July 12 at 5:30 p.m. We will share our Christmas stories right around the time we wish it was a lot cooler, and enjoy a taco bar for supper. June's 4S was a blessing to everyone who attended, and to the Salvation Army who got our excess food. Come to Hines Hall and enjoy the cool, a free meal, and sharing life together!
