Birmingham Members Participate in 77th Annual Chilton County Peach Festival
In a remarkable display of community engagement, Birmingham, Ala., Church members participated in the 77th Annual Chilton County Peach Festival, an event renowned for its celebration of local agriculture and community spirit. Following last year’s impressive attendance of 15,000, this year’s festival was anticipated to draw even larger crowds.
Dedicated to its mission of outreach and support, they set up an informative booth at the festival, where they provided literature addressing a wide range of health-related topics. The initiative aimed not only to educate but also to offer solace and support, with team members available to pray with and counsel individuals facing health challenges and other personal adversities.
“They don’t care what you know until they know that you care,” said Shawn Smith, Encounter Ministries director. A principle that guides all endeavors of the ministry was vividly brought to life through the direct and compassionate engagement of its team members with festival attendees.
