Christian author Susan Alexander Yates will be the guest speaker for the Legacy League’s annual Scholarship Luncheon and a casual supper, both on Feb. 9.
Yates will share timely, life-shaping messages relevant for all ages and stages of life, according to a statement from the league.
Among her books, Yates wrote “Risky Faith: Becoming Brave Enough to Trust the God who is Bigger Than Your World” and “Cousin Camp.”
Barbara and Dennis Rainey, co-founders of Family Life, a website that caters to families and couples, said Yates gives practical encouragement and hope to those who want to know God more deeply.
Proceeds from the events will provide scholarships to students with significant financial need and challenging circumstances to go to Samford University.
“Discovering an Infinite, Intimate God” is the theme of Yates’ message for the luncheon, which will be held at a country club in Vestavia Hills. Premium sponsors are Brookdale University Park and Wells Fargo Advisors.
Doors will open at 10:45 a.m. for a silent auction and the program will begin at 11:30 a.m. Reservations are required and cost $55, $26 of which is a tax-deductible donation.
“Trusting God in Life’s Transitions” will be Yate’s topic for the supper, to be held on Samford’s campus. Reservations are required and cost $20. To buy tickets for either of the events, go to samford.edu/legacyleague.
Yates lives in Falls Church, Virginia, where her husband, John, pastored a church for 40 years. She frequently speaks on topics of faith, scripture and amily.
The Legacy League has nearly 800 members and has awarded more than $1.3 million in scholarships.
