We have good food and warm fellowship following the Worship Service today at the Zinke River located at 1216 Brookside Camp Rd, Hendersonville. Please join us, we would love to get to know you better! *Please note that children must be accompanied by an adult when using the restroom located in the barn, and that no one should be wandering around the barn feeding or approaching the horses. These horses don’t belong to the Zinke’s, and many are on special diets and are not good with strangers.
