Weekly Update

Your Weekly Update

Pre-K through 4th grade students are invited to attend Children’s Church on Sundays during the month of June, beginning June 3rd. This interactive worship experience follows the children’s sermon during both worship services every Sunday. Adult leaders will lead students in a time of Bible lessons, music, crafts, and games in the Christian Education wing. Once worship is over, students will enjoy snack time while adults have a time of coffee and fellowship. Regular Sunday School will not meet during the summer and will resume in the early Fall.

Break the Cycle 200
(formerly Okoboji 200)
Again this summer the Okoboji 200 will be raising money for sex trafficking relief and prevention throughout the Midwest and the world. Pastor Clint will be riding again this year and anyone who would like to participate can visit https://www.crowdrise.com/o/en/campaign/clint-loveall—break-the-cycle-200—okoboji-2018?utm_campaign=oc&utm_medium=facebook&utm_source=crowdrise to learn more or make donations. You could also donate through the church.
Again this year we will be hosting riders after the ride, which is June 22^nd, and serving breakfast the next morning at the church (June 23^rd). If you would like to be involved with either of those efforts, please let us know. Thanks.
