Summer "Knights” at the Barn with Al Woods
THIS Tuesday the 13th... Come join the Brethren at The Barn as our summer "Stories Series" continues. This week we welcome Al Woods to share his story, and his heart.

Please get there early for fellowship...then we start at 7:15!!

Al Woods is a 1981 graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Growing up in Gray Georgia, he quickly became successful in basketball and later earned All-American status in high school and college. Al was selected to play for the U.S. Men's Olympic Basketball team, and after playing four years for Dean Smith at UNC- Chapel Hill, was the 4th overall pick selected in the 1st round of the 1984 NBA draft by the Atlanta Hawks. He went on to play professionally for the San Diego Clippers, the Seattle Supersonics and the Dallas Mavericks as well as in South America, Italy, and France.

Al is the 5th all time leading scorer at UNC-Chapel Hill. He set, and still holds, the individual record for the most points scored in an NCAA semi-final game, scorching Ralph Sampson and Virginia, with 39 points. “Of all of the UNC players I’ve seen”, said Woody Durham, the Tar Heels radio play-by-play announcer since 1971, “Al Wood was the very best shooter. Al has to be #1---His shot was so pure”.

As an accomplished athlete, Al played under some of the finest collegiate and NBA coaches, including five hall of fame coaches. He saw true leadership modeled and has demonstrated the gift of leadership in his own life.

Al is currently an ordained minister on the staff of Morningstar Ministries in Fort Mill, SC. He is also the Principal and Athletic Director of their K-12 private Christian school, Comenius School for Creative Leadership. He has a passion to train, equip and release world-changing young people with godly character who are well-rounded academically, physically and spiritually.

Al met his wife of 26 years, Robin, at UNC-Chapel Hill. They were married in 1984 and have four children. One son, AJ, who is a 2007 graduate of UNC-Chapel Hill, Martina, a 2010 UNC-Chapel Hill graduate and women’s basketball team member, Candace, a junior at UNC as well and also a women’s basketball team member and Carmen, a freshman entering UNC-Chapel Hill in the fall of 2010.

In his spare time, Al is an avid golfer and enjoys spending time with his family.
