The Black Bear Half Marathon is back for its third year and we are so excited! Both the half marathon and 8k both offer a scenic, mostly flat course along the Oklawaha Greenway. The Half Marathon has less than 400 feet of elevation gain, and both races wind along the river, so you won’t want to miss it! Participants will receive a free treat and a beer (21+) after the race to replenish some much-needed calories. We’ll also have plenty of vendors at the race hub, live music, and a recovery zone with massages and PT!

David Jeremiah Announces New Teaching Series and Fall Tour Coming This October to South Carolina.

As Turning Point embarks on its fortieth year of ministry, Dr. David Jeremiah shares how we can find hope in God’s Word, even as our world seems to be spinning out of control.

Turning Point for God is pleased to announce the schedule for David Jeremiah’s 2022 Fall Tour. The website for An Evening with David Jeremiah: HIS VOICE! OUR VOICE! has launched, and tickets are now available at DavidJeremiah.org/TOUR.
There is One Voice we ought to trust more than other voices, One Voice we need to hear—the voice of Jesus Christ. We are living in a time when Bible prophecy is intersecting with our world as never before, and there is an urgency to communicate the message of hope and peace that only Jesus Christ can offer!

Each event will include a night of dynamic worship led by The Voice contestant Michael Sanchez, life-changing teaching by renowned Bible teacher and New York Times bestselling author, Dr. David Jeremiah, from his new series, The World of the End, and the opportunity to secure exclusive resources and merchandise.
As we begin the tour in Raleigh, North Carolina, on October 6, the Grammy-award-winning Gaither Vocal Band will be joining us. Additional guest artists for other locations will be announced at a later date.

This special event is a great opportunity to share an uplifting message from God’s Word with those in your community and around the world.

Turning Point is also grateful for the partnership and support of local radio stations in and around Greenville, South Carolina, and looks forward to a successful tour season.

Admission is free, but tickets are required. Visit davidjeremiah.org for tickets.

NOCtoberfest, NOC’s annual fall family fun event returns!

Enjoy leaf season in the Smoky Mountains at Nantahala Outdoor Center’s annual NOCtoberfest event on October 22^nd, 2022.

This free, family favorite celebration offers activities, kid friendly live music, and prizes for all ages to enjoy.

The most anticipated part of the NOCtoberfest celebration is NOC’s Great Pumpkin Pursuit, a free for all dash through Nantahala Falls. Over 400 numbered pumpkins are tossed throughout the Nantahala’s grand finale rapid as paddlers frantically dash to collect as many of the bobbing pumpkins as possible. Contestants are welcome to bring their own boats, rent them on site, or stand along the riverbanks with a net. Registration is between Noon and 2:00 at NOC’s Big Wesser Riverside Pub. Prizes are awarded via raffle: more pumpkins equal more chances to win!

The Great Pumpkin Pursuit has become a popular spectator event. Up to 75+ paddlers hurtle through the Falls flip, swim, collide and bumble their way down the river there collecting pumpkins. Some spectators are asked to help distribute the pumpkins for the paddlers by tossing them in hard-to-reach places. The exciting event only takes minutes to play out, so spectators should plan on arriving early. The competitors meeting will be at 2pm, so paddlers should be going through the Falls at 2:30pm.

Other event highlights include:

• Trick or treating across campus
• 12-4pm Pumpkin Decorating: NOC supplies pumpkins, as well as decorating and kid friendly carving materials. Every child wins a prize after presenting their works of art to the judging panel.
• 1pm Costume Contests: Dress to impress the judges! Costume categories are Kids, Couples, Most in
  Character and Scariest.
• 3pm-6pm Live Music: Enjoy a bonfire and live music at Big Wesser. S’mores included!
• Family Photo Fun with River the Otter, Fall scenery with the River as the backdrop, and more.
• Tarot/Zoltar/Palm Reading
