2019 Summer Fun for Friends and Family!
Let's have some fun together while sharing the love of Christ! We've designed several church-wide outings as well as a few especially for youth and children. Take a look at all the wonderful ways we will celebrate the gifts of life and community this summer! Each outing will include moments of devotion and prayer together while providing lots of time for fellowship and fun. |
Sign up on the bulletin board across from the Chapel so we can make our travel and group plans, and be sure to invite your friends and neighbors to come along! |
Keep scrolling down... there is a lot to see!

Whether you want to hand-feed a giraffe, handle a snake, or see a porcupine up close, there is something for everyone.
