Fall is fast approaching and Stray Gatherings Cowboy Church is gearing up for some fall fun. SG2C has scheduled a Fall Round Up on Saturday, Oct. 3. This will be a really fun community gathering with so many kid and adult activities. The details are being ironed out, but if last year’s Fall Round Up was any indication of what is to come, it will be a really fun family activity. If anyone would like to help out or find out more, please contact Chris Leviton atchristineleviton1@ gmail.com
