High Country 5k Cancelled
The Shades Crest Baptist Church pastoral staff and Recreation Committee met today and have made the decision to cancel the High Country 5K. We believe it is in the best interest of our church and community to go ahead and cancel this event now. With the outbreak of COVID-19 and a number of confirmed cases in the state of Alabama, as well as the Governor declaring a state of emergency, the health of our community and nation must come first. We thank you for your support and look forward to you joining us in the future.
