Wingfield Ministries is hosting their 8th annual Memorial Day Community Celebration at Rockingham Fairgrounds starting at 4PM - an afternoon of FREE family-friendly fun, delicious food, and music.

We appreciate their theme of "Choose God, Choose Health." We believe that a person's health is not just about their body - but their heart, mind, and soul as well! Come visit us in the Ministry Tent, along with many other wonderful organizations:
Celebrate Recovery
Resurrection Ministries
New Life Recovery
Greater Hope
Grief Share
New Creation
