The Cooleemee Historical Association and Bridge Church team up to host a lively event featuring games, treats, school supplies, and a special introduction to new health ministry services.

When the Cooleemee Historical Association joins with the Bridge Church in Cooleemee, you know something good is going to happen, like a back-to-school party.

A bouncy house, water slide, watermelon contests, games, popcorn, grilled hot dogs, flavored ices, and cotton candy were free to everyone present, young and old.

Kristi McCray was a special guest from Charlotte, NC. Our community is very excited to have a registered nurse located at the Bridge Church, Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Faith Community Health Ministry is a collaboration between Atrium Health and faith communities. McCray’s unique role in health ministry is a diverse service of caring for body, mind, and spirit. For more information, call 704-631-0718 or email AtriumHealth.org/faith.

A big thank you to the CHA and the Bridge Church for providing a great day for our school kids to have fun, scream, bounce, win backpacks full of school supplies, and eat until their bellies were full. What a great day in our little town called Cooleemee.
