Adventure Club Volunteer Needs
Adventure Club starts up Tuesday, September 5th and Thursday, September 7th. As we ramp up towards kick-off, we have some needs for volunteers. For Tuesday night, we have needs in the Infant, Toddler, & 2s rooms as well as small group leaders for K-2nd and 3rd-5th grade. For Thursday night, we need small group leaders for 3s through 2nd grade. Please encourage families in your Life Groups who are blessed by this ministry to consider serving at the Adventure Club on the night your group doesn’t meet. They can sign-up to serve through the Serve Form.
Family Weekend Registration Live
Family Weekend Registrations are live! You can register for the Friday night banquet and the Saturday morning breakout sessions here.
The third annual Family Weekend will take place from September 22-24. This weekend exists to help families learn how to live biblically while being encouraged through fellowship and having lots of fun together. Friday night will kick off the weekend with a special banquet and teaching from Pastor Ben about "Heavenly Homes: Ordering our Families in Light of Eternity." On Saturday, we will offer three time slots with two different teachings to choose from. These teachings will touch on topics such as singleness, retirement/grand parenting, parenting teens, etc. The whole church will gather for a picnic filled with food, fellowship, and games on Sunday.
Please register children you will need childcare for, however childcare will be limited, so if you have alternative options, please use those. Thank you!
