Please pray for our Cadets and leaders as they travel to the West Coast Camporee in Lake Alpine, CA July 9 through 13.
A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who participated in Expedition Day Camp: Extraordinary Construction! We had almost 100 kids building, creating, and exploring who God is and how important it is to build a life on him! None of this can happen without those who give of their time and talents to present, lead, encourage, and love the children who attend. To God be the glory!
Teen Movie Night is coming soon! All teens (middle school and high school students) are invited to come for a movie and snacks in the upstairs Loft on Wednesday, July 17, 24, 31, and August 7. All movies will be PG-13 or less in rating and will run from 6:30-8pm. This is also a great way to invite friends to church for the first time. If you want to keep up with what movies are showing, contact Lael Dunn at 904-5149.
