Our SHINE Children and Youth activities will be back this Wednesday as well. SHINE is an opportunity for our children to learn how to praise God by singing, acting, dancing, and creating art to be used in ministry and worship.
P.S. - If your children are not a part of our After School ministry and would like to attend our afternoon mission education experiences (RAs—Royal Ambassadors, for boys, GAs—Girls in Action, for boys), please contact the church office by 4:00 PM on Tuesday so we can make that happen cost-free for your family.
Our Adult Bible Study also resumes on Wednesday night at 6 PM. Please join us as we watch and discuss the movie, The Way, from a faithful and Christ-centered perspective during the month of January. The Way is the story of a grieving father whose path unfolds on a pilgrimage with strangers who will become soul friends.
