5th quarter slated after Aug. 26 game

By Sam Waller

The Feed Store’s Fifth Quarter fellowship following home football games returns for another season Friday, Aug. 26 following the Albany Lions’ game against Lubbock Trinity Christian.

This week’s youth gathering will be hosted by Albany Church of Christ, Maranatha Fellowship, Jesus of Nazareth Catholic Church, and Trinity Episcopal Church.

Feed Store director Tisha Wilkins said Friday’s event will be separated like last year with high school students meeting at the fieldhouse parking lot, while junior high students meet at The Feed Store.

However, Wilkins said, the plan is for future gatherings to combine the age groups at The Feed Store.

“We didn’t have the big attendance increase that we thought we would by splitting it,” Wilkins said. “It will make it easier on the churches to have it back in one place. There will be a light snack or meal served, and the building will be open until 11:00 p.m.”

Future home dates are Sept. 16, Sept. 23, Oct. 14 (homecoming), and Nov. 4.

Other participating churches are Matthews Memorial Presbyterian, Trinity Lutheran, First Christian, Friendship Baptist, Bethel Assembly, Albany Methodist, and First Baptist.
