At 4,500 acres—five times the size of Central Park—Shelby Farms Park has the potential to be the next great park of the 21st century as well as a major factor in Memphis’ future. Mrs. Adams handles fundraising, event planning, and generally getting the public involved—really involved! Under her supervision, a free “Earth Day Festival” has grown from 5,000 people several years ago to 15,000 participants, and the accompanying Green Shoe Gala, a 500-person event, has sold out each year. It has been said that her genuine passion for the park is the secret to her effectiveness. A catered luncheon will be served at a cost of $10 each.

Go Down, Moses!
Moses is the towering figure of the Old Testament. Perhaps the words of Deuteronomy 34:10-12 capture his life best, "Since then, no prophet has risen in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face . . . for no one has ever shown the mighty power or performed the awesome deeds that Moses did in the sight of all Israel." January 11: "The Stage is Set," from Exodus 1 and 2 January 18: "The Reluctant Prophet," from Exodus 3 and 4 January 25: "Another Night with the Frogs," from Exodus 5-11 February 1: "The Great Escape," from Exodus 14:1-4, 10-14 February 8: "God Provides," from Exodus 16 and 17 February 15: "Lessons for Leaders and Followers," from Number 14:1-4 and Exodus 18:15-26 February 22: "A Covenant People," from Exodus 19:1-6 and Deuteronomy 5:1-3, 5, 21 March 1: "Giants Ahead," from Numbers 13:1-2, 17-18, 15-33 March 8: "Choose Life," from Deuteronomy 30:11-20 Children’s Boutique Clothing Sale
