Family Serve Night 2018

Thank you to our church family members who braved the big rain storm and joined in the fun for Family Serve Night! More than 80 people – from toddlers to grandparents – enjoyed a pizza dinner, then helped pack 15,000 meals for Rise Against Hunger, bagged 300 Street Eats bags and helped sort beads for an upcoming VBS craft. As Christ-like servants, we are called to serve those in the community and around the world. We appreciate your work to do just that!

 

   

Sanctuary Spruce Up!

Our Family Ministry demonstrated what it means to be gracious hosts during the Highway 45 Mission Camp. Our sanctuary received some TLC from our kids as they polished pews, vacuumed, cleaned windows and had a blast! Thank you to everyone who helped – it shines!
