MOMs, DADS, are you looking for a place to have fun and fellowship with your children and other parents? We begin our 3rd year on Sept. 18th at 10am on Fridays in the Cornerstone Room (Rm. 215). This program is for all parents and their children, ages 0 to 5.
The morning starts with 30 minutes of age appropriate interactive music followed by a snack and then playing with toys while the parents enjoy a time of fellowship and breakfast. These activities all take place in the same room.
This program continues though the school year and each semester there is a fee of $30 per family to cover the food and snacks.
For more information, please email Roberta Pont by clicking on this link.

The sermon for Sunday, June 8th is “Pentecost for All” (Acts 2:1-13)
Gifts of the Holy Spirit are given so that we will be prepared for the work of service and the body of Christ will be built up. Each of us has gifts. What are your gifts? How are you using them? On this celebration of Pentecost and confirming our teenagers into faith in Christ, let’s celebrate the Holy Spirit and the gifts He gives.
