CURRENT SERIES
FAITHFUL // 0 - 5th Grade // 9 & 10:30 AM // ENTER DOOR 7
God’s faithfulness remains even as people display unfaithfulness to Him. It isn’t long before sin takes over the world. God is saddened by this change in the way people relate to Him and each other. Through the life of Noah, God shows He honors those who do what is right, and He is faithful to bring Isaac and Rebekah together so His chosen people can grow. When His people are oppressed, God sends help and lets them know they are His, and when God gives the Law, He shows that His people are set apart. In this series, we’ll celebrate that God is the faithful God who will always be faithful to His people!
FAMILY PICNIC
SUN, AUG 18 // 5 PM // OUTSIDE DOOR 5
Our kids and youth ministries are throwing a Family Picnic. We will be grilling hotdogs and hamburgers. There will also be games and bouncy houses! If you are planning on attending this event please bring a side dish or dessert to share. There is a sign-up down in the Kids area.
HIGH FIVE NIGHTS
BEGINS WED, SEPT 11 // 6:30 PM // REGISTRATION NOW OPEN
This Fall we will be changing our Wednesday night program from AWANA to our brand new High Five Nights. We will be using a curriculum called High Voltage which is biblically sound, scripture driven, and application based. Each Wednesday, there will be interactive games, object lessons, small group discussion, scripture memorization, prayer, and gym time! We will also have Family Nights the last Wednesday of each month. Our goal in this change is for our kids to be able to invite their friends, that Wednesday nights will be open to our community, and that families will be strengthened in the process.
Here are the 5 Values we’ll hold high on Wednesday Nights:
Faith - Building a growing relationship with God through scripture memorization and prayer
Family - Strengthening the family core with intentionality
Fun - Interactive activities that bring Joy
Friends - Fostering Godly relationships that last
Foundation - Establishing a strong faith that guides children’s decisions and actions
Registration is free and open to children 3 yrs old – 5th grade. Register Here

YOUNG ADULT NEWS
CURRENT SERIES
JAMES // EVERY TUES // 7 PM // Fireside Room (Room 269)
True faith produces fruit. A faith without action and without life change is ultimately a dead faith. James writes to believers who know suffering, who've faced trials, and who ultimately desire a deep relationship with God. Francis Chan works through James verse-by-verse, challenging followers of Christ to move beyond a private, intellectual knowledge of God and His Word, to a vibrant faith that impacts every square inch of life.
