As you know, this race is a special family tradition for many of our participants on Easter weekend. We are so disappointed that our 10th event will have to wait, but we trust that none of this surprises our Lord. While many churches have cancelled services, you are invited to join Pole Creek Baptist Church on-line to view our services in the coming weeks. Visit www.polecreek.org to watch live or join us on Facebook live.
Running the race set before us,
Jane Cannon
