Get ready for All Together Sunday!
Six times a year we will intentionally have Sunday morning "family services"   at both 9am and 10:30. (This is similar to  our  Christmas Weekend  and Resurrection Sunday  services in the past).
On these Sundays, there will not be separate programming for kids (no 2-4 year old's, CORE or 4REAL Worship) so that all ages can worship together in the Worship Center.
Are you concerned about your child sitting  through the service ?  An activity page will be available, the Nursery will be open for ages 0-24 months and the Family Room will be available .
It's the last week of registration for Breakaway Day Camp!
 Camp is open to children 6-12 years old with a counselor in training (CIT) program available for teens ages 13-15 years old.
Don't miss your chance to secure a spot for a summer full of Jesus, fun, friendship, and unforgettable memories!
 Partial scholarships are available for children of Bible teacher volunteers.
Email [email protected] for more info.
