Faith Stepping Stones: As children grow we want to educate and train them in the faith when they come to the church, but we also want to give families the resources to continue that development at home. As each child in our church grows, we will put resources in your family’s hands to help them learn at home what they are also learning here. On August 27, 2017 we celebrate Christian Education Sunday and will have these resources available to each family for their home library. Please look for your child’s name with the appropriate age group and bring your book home. Some resources may span multiple grades or ages so if you brought your book home last year we ask that you do not take a repeat copy this year so others can share in these resources. Please share this book with your child and work with them as they Grow in Christ!
RECONNECT! The next Reconnect will be Saturday September 9th from 5:00-7:00 p.m. This month we will be setting up not one, but two bounce houses!

INTRODUCING CLUB 345! We are kickstarting Club 345 (our third, fourth, and fifth grade youth group) with a trip to Pumpkin Town Farms on October 1st at 1:00 p.m. We are asking that every child has at least one parent or guardian in attendance. With that being said, there will be a $5 payment per person due by Sunday, September 24th. After late service on October 1, we will be offering a pizza lunch for an additional $3 per person. Once we are done with lunch, the plan is to caravan over to the pumpkin patch. We hope to have all our awesome third, fourth, and fifth graders at this first Club 345 event!
