Athens Half Marathon Pre-Race Worship Service

We held our first-ever worship service in our newly remodeled courtyard at 6:00 this morning, hosting worshipers from the community of runners and race volunteers. Many attendees were from other churches, even other cities.

 Some time for fellowship after the service before the start of the race.

Between 50 and 60 people attended the service. From those attending who weren't First Presbyterian members, we heard complements about the facility and thanks for making the service available to the community.

Race photos:  I've put photos of the race start, finish line, and activities in the finish area on Flickr.  Here's a link to a slideshow.
