Two Brothers Garden Center & Lunch in Midway @ Brown Barrell and Blind Harry's

FREE. Bring money for lunch.

Thursday, April 30th | Bus departs at 9AM

Who’s ready to set out flowers, freshen up those porches, or finally plant that garden? Come spend a relaxing and joy-filled day with us as we head to Two Brothers Garden Center to get inspired for the season!

Afterward, we’ll make our way to the charming town of Midway for lunch together at local favorites, Brown Barrel and Blind Harry’s—two places rich with history and heart.

The Brown Barrel was named in honor of Winston Eugene Peace, a beloved grandfather who spent over 25 years crafting barrels right here in the Bluegrass. He loved to sing to his family—“Little Brown Jug” being a favorite—which inspired the name and spirit behind the restaurant.

Blind Harry’s carries the legacy of Harry Clay Anderson, a remarkable man from Midway who lived out the truth that “there’s always a way if you try.” Though blind, he built homes—by hand—that are still standing today. His story is one of determination, perseverance, and incredible strength.

This day is more than just flowers and food—it’s about community, encouragement, and enjoying the beauty of the season together.

Come join us—we’d love to spend the day with you!

Our purpose is to point students to Christ and activate them for service, helping them live out their faith both inside and outside the church. Come ready to eat, laugh, learn, and grow together.
