Celebrate Valentine’s Day with No Ordinary Love
Grace Phillips
Ashland Beacon
Love is in the air. What is the first thing you think of when you hear the word February? Of course, it is Valentine’s Day. Roses, chocolates, dinner, jewelry…what do you do? Angella Lee, who is with the outreach group 2Gather, has taken the guess work out of your special day.
On Feb. 14, 2Gather is hosting an evening at the Boyd County Convention Center located at 15605 KY-180 Catlettsburg, complete with dinner and entertainment. The evening is designed for couples, singles or just a group of friends.
The event is called No Ordinary Love. According to Lee, “It is a great opportunity to share God’s love for us and to share that with our neighbors. We have a great evening planned for those attending.” The doors will open at 6:30 p.m. with charcuterie boards and meet and mingle time. Music will be provided by Lucy Becker and Elijah Miller. Dinner is being catered by The Mill with the choice of prime rib, chicken, or rigatoni. Powell Photography will also be doing photos and will provide a free digital photo file to everyone after the event.
The evening will close with the Christian comedian David Dean. Dean has been making audiences laugh on a full-time basis for over 25 years. His brand of comedy is clean, family-friendly, and fast paced. He has learned through the years that comedy has simply given him a platform for talking about Jesus.
Lee commented, “This is a great opportunity for us to share God’s extraordinary love for us and to share that with our neighbors. Our premise and hope is, ‘if you can, get a ticket for a couple who can’t and give them a special evening out.’”
General admission tickets for the No Ordinary Love are $99/couple or $55 for a single ticket. A limited number of private tables for two will be available for $129. All tickets can be purchased at Eventbrite.com. Ticket sales will close on Feb. 12 at 11 p.m. VIP tables for eight are also available. Please call for pricing information for those.
Lee continued, “We want everyone to enjoy themselves and be around others who are there to enjoy an evening together in a nice atmosphere.”
2Gather is an outreach ministry of Old Orchard Christian Church located in South Ashland. It has hosted a few events already at the park, as well as a date night comedy show in the fall. They hope to have additional events in the future. Lee said the name 2Gather is actually a play on words. It is from the scripture that says “where two or more gather in my name” and “together.” Lee shared, “We are just in the beginning stages of that outreach group, and we are trying to get some more events out to the public that are just good clean fun that people can come to and enjoy.”
