September 25 - Saturday - NC Conference UMM Duke Day, Duke vs. Army
This year's emphasis is 'youth.' Each man and fellowship is encouraged to bring local youth - particularly less advantaged youth who may not otherwise get to a college football game. The day includes a special Duke tour and meeting special guests, a worship service, a tailgate lunch, and the game…all for only $20 per person. Since the game may be televised, we will not know kickoff time until 13 days before the game, but anticipate a noon kickoff. As soon as we receive confirmation of the kickoff time, we will followup with email and announcements and update this page.
As in past years, we plan to drive the bus, departing the Church upper parking lot at 6:30 a.m. Seats on the bus are first come,first served. However, there is no limit on the number of people who can go. After we fill our bus, we will arrange car pooling, borrow buses/vans, and organize a caravan to/from Duke U.
