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://fpcspiritlake.org/200
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. A sign up sheet is located in the narthex. Thanks.

Children’s Church is our beloved summer alternative worship experience designed for students Pre-K through 4th grade during the month of June. Immediately following the children’s sermon in the sanctuary, children will be invited to follow an adult leader to our Christian Education wing to participate in a time of songs, Bible lessons, music, and games. Students will be served a snack just for them immediately following Children’s Church, and parents can pick up their student at the end of the hallway in our Christian Education wing following worship. As always, parents who desire to keep their students with them to worship are encouraged to do so and our regular Sunday School time will resume in September.
