Starmount Friends
Once a month, the Starmount Friends group meets for a catered luncheon meal and a short program of interest. Day trips using the new church bus are also often planned for members of this group. Although most of the group members are of retirement age, medicare cards are not checked at the door.
Blessing of the Animals
Once a year, usually in mid spring, Pastor Odom invites members of our community to the church on a Sunday afternoon for a special “Blessing of the Animals.” This event brings out dogs, cats, and other pets to receive a special blessing as well as treats. Contests are held, and everyone seems to enjoy the fellowship and time well spent with their four-legged family members.
Greensboro Grasshoppers
Another fun family outing that Starmount Presbyterian looks forward to each year is the annual pilgrimage to NewBridge Bank Park to root on our hometown Greensboro Grasshoppers. Minor league baseball is a pleasure to watch, especially with members of your church family. And you never know what surprise might land in your lap at a baseball game.
Bach's Lunch
If music is your forte’, then we have a treat for you. Our Director of Music Ministries, Bob Overman, is waiting and eager to put your talents to use. Starmount has a chancel choir, youth choir, children’s choir and handbell choir for those who have an interest in music. Special musical happenings at Starmount include Bach’s Lunch in mid March and special choir performances throughout the year involving professional musicians from the Greensboro and Winston-Salem areas.
Church Picnic
Each September, our church holds its annual church picnic at Bur-Mill Park. After a cookout, we enjoy athletic activities as well as the opportunity to just sit around and catch up on conversation.
Fall Festival
In October, the church sponsors a fall festival to observe Halloween. Children are encouraged to dress up in their favorite costumes, and fun is had by all.
Agents of Grace
Starmount also takes part in the Greenboro “Agents of Grace” program. This program provides our members with the opportunity to join hands with other Greensboro church congregations in providing assistance to those in our community who most need a helping hand.
