• Sanctuary Renovation

  You might see signs of building renovation and/or construction outside the church sanctuary and fellowship hall in the coming weeks.  The church voted to renovate the sanctuary and work has begun.  Required demolition is underway inside the sanctuary.  Actual design plans for the sanctuary are yet to be completed and presented to the church for input and approval.  If you have any questions please contact the church office or Rickey Rackley, Sanctuary Renovation Committee Chairperson.

  The Children's Ministry ages PreK through 5th Grade will have a fun day at the lake for parents and their child/children.  This will be a great time for moms and dads to spend dedicated time having fun together with their children.  This is a great opportunity for bonding time, playing games, coloring Easter eggs, fishing, swimming or wading the beach and food - hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken, chips, drinks, etc..

  All fishing gear will be provided.  Parents are asked to bring 3-6 boiled eggs for coloring with their children.  Sunscreen and lawn chairs are recommended.

  An RSVP sheet is in the Family Life Center so the teachers can get a headcount for food, but al are welcome, even if its a last minute decision and you didn't get to sign up.  Children may bring a guest, if desired, for the age groups listed.
