Event Calendar

We are so excited about our upcoming POP DROP & GIVE event at Unted Supermarkets in Canyon, Texas on Saturday October 11^th 2025.

This event makes a tremendous impact on our ministry as last year we doubled the amount of food gathered up for our local neighbors and families in need.

We ended up with 1600 students at the end of last school year—and are still gathering students as we speak.  CISD is growing!!—we look to grow another 11% approximately this year.  We are grateful for the opportunity to work with David and Natascha Manley/PRO-Lift Garage Doors of Amarillo as they continue to bless our ministry through their efforts at the upcoming food drive!  The food gathered will help so much as we provide food each weekend to students throughout 732 square miles of the Canyon School District!  We are asking for pop tart donations—meat sticks, capri sun fruit drinks as well as granola bars!  Any gift would be a tremendous blessing!

Thank you so much for ALL your help making this the best event possible!  We are grateful!

RE:  DINO DAY AT PPHM

CANYON, TEXAS — Adventure roars back to the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum with Dino Day on October 11th! From 2–5 p.m., families can enjoy prehistoric fun on PPHM’s East Lawn, in recognition of Archeology Month. Admission is $5 for everyone.

Open from September 20th – January 9th at the Don Harrington Discovery Center.

Calling young artists and inventors! Immerse yourself in the mind of Leonardo da Vinci– building, sketching, testing, and designing, just like the “Renaissance Man” himself. Hands-on activity tables explore his contributions to art, science, anatomy and engineering. Will you recreate da Vinci’s work, or add an exciting twist that’s all your own?

Included with membership or general admission.

Leonardo’s Lab, a traveling exhibit, was developed by Carnegie Science Center (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) and produced in partnership with the Sciencecenter (Ithaca, New York).

Sharing the stage with Big G and Dean will be Mary Lyn Halley, Dr. Dan Hanson, Vic Richardson, Miranda Pjesky, and Cat Tyson-Day, bringing even more talent and passion to an unforgettable night of music.

This exciting concert will not only cover Queen’s unforgettable hits but will also support two important community missions.

First, we are proud to partner with the Center City/Amarillo Cultural District, which works tirelessly to preserve Amarillo’s historic charm and bring locals and visitors downtown to enjoy its restaurants, venues, and vibrant community events.

In addition, concert proceeds will benefit the **ASCA—now operating as the 55+ Club of Amarillo—**located at their new property, 2404 SW 6th Avenue. Their mission is to build a new Senior Activities Center: a dynamic space where seniors can stay active and thrive through wellness programs, social events, arts, and lifelong learning. It’s a worthy cause that will enrich the lives of many in our community.
