Men’s Ministry BBQ & Football Night is Thursday, March 11, 6:45pm, catered by Spring Creek BBQ. Special guest will be Brian Kinchen, former New England Patriot pro football player. Cost is $10 for adults; $5 for children.

Brian Kinchen was a thirty eight year old husband, father of four boys, and a seventh grade Bible teacher whose professional football career had been over for 3 years when the New England Patriots called on December 15, 2003. With the Patriots riding a ten-game winning streak and the playoffs only a few weeks away, they needed a fill-in to snap the ball for punts and field goals. The book The Long Snapper chronicles Brian’s remarkable journey as he seeks the ultimate Lombardi trophy to close the final chapter of Brian’s football career.
