St. Mark A.M.E. Zion Church to Host Community Fish Fry Rebuilding Kick-off Saturday August 29, 2026

Athens, Tenn—August 29, 2026 St. Mark A.M.E. Zion Church invites Athens and surrounding communities, organizations, and businesses to the Community Fish Fry beginning at 12 noon at the McMinn County Senior Activity Center, 205 McMinn Avenue, Athens, TN. which will serve as the kickoff for St. Mark's A.M.E. Zion Church's Rebuilding Campaign.

The menu will feature St. Mark's traditional fish fry and signature white beans and delicious desserts. This is a donation event with all proceeds supporting the ongoing effort to rebuild the historic landmark St. Mark A.M.E. Zion Church on the Hill.

St. Mark has been a part of the Athens community since 1865. The community of faith desires to rebuild after the devastating arsonist fire that resulted in the loss of life of a beloved member of the church and community as well as the destruction of the historic landmark. The congregation continues its ministry and community outreach while working towards rebuilding a new structure that will begin a new journey as the lighthouse of the community. We hope to see all of our friends, family, and neighbors.

Flying for Kids is a family-friendly radio-control model aircraft event hosted by the Bradley County Radio Control Model Aircraft Club. Visitors can watch a variety of model aircraft in flight and learn about aviation, aerodynamics, radio-control systems, aircraft construction, and the technical skills involved in model aviation.

The event raises money for The Caring Place SacPac Meals program, which helps provide meals for children in need over the weekends. Spectator admission is free. Food will be available for purchase, and restrooms will be available on site.

Participating pilots must hold current AMA membership. Pilot donations are requested.
