This time-traveling 1979 novel features a modern woman’s trip to the antebellum South, where she must grapple with enslavement and survival.

Christmas boxes for Appalachia will be kicking off on Sunday, September 29!
We will again be supporting the Appalachia ministry of CBF personnel Scarlett Jasper and Olive Branch ministries. This ministry serves the people in some of America’s poorest counties in eastern Kentucky and Tennessee. For some families, these boxes may be the only gift a child will receive at Christmas.
If you would like to read more, the website is olivebranchministriesky.org.
Our HVBC goal is 40 boxes divided into preschool, elementary, middle-high school, and senior adults.
Food Collection – October, November, and December
We will have a Food Drive in October, November, and December with donations going to Food Bank of Central and Eastern NC. We will have bins in the vestibule soon for you to place your donations.
