X-Service! Durham Rescue Mission

The Durham Rescue Mission has been providing aid to the homeless for many years. Did you know that they recently experienced a terrible loss of food due to a fire? Read the complete story.

Please plan to bring a grocery bag of food or a monetary donation to our next X-Event!, Old School Field Day, on Saturday, April 28th. We would love to help fulfill this need by sponsoring an aXcess food drive. All types of food can be used: canned meats, all types of canned vegetables, fruits, soups and staple items such as sugar, flour and cornmeal. Monetary donations are also welcomed.

If for some reason you cannot attend that event but would like to donate food please contact Jaimie Mewborn at 252-559-9180. We will arrange a time to drop-off the food.Thank you, aXcess, for your willing heart to serve our community in need.

Old School Field Day, April 28th 2-6pm

This Saturday Afternoon GAMES START AT 2:15pm.

Drive into the Lake Crabtree Park entrance and follow signs to the Dogwood Shelter. Check in there to sign up for teams and events.

$5 Admission.

We'll be serving dinner from the grill around 5pm.

We're planning an Old School Field Day complete with wheelbarrow races, 100 yard dashes, tug of war and more hard boiled eggs than you can toss a softball at.


We'll put you on a team when you arrive and the group with the most points at the end wins the day. .

Not into dodgeball or ultimate frisbee? Can't stomach the bloodthirsty volleyball rematch of Wrightsville Beach, 2006?


No worries! Just bring your lawnchair to chill underneath the shelter and meet new people. We'll be at Lake Crabtree so the scenery will be beautiful!

For a little extra, you could even find yourself in a boat race before dinner.

Lake Crabtree is located off I-40 at Exit 285 at 1400 Aviation Parkway Morrisville, NC 27560

In case of bad weather, a rain plan will be posted on the blog.
