Our annual Vacation Bible School takes place August 4 - 8 from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. nightly, in the Actiivty Center.  This year's theme is ROAR!  Life is Wild.  God is Good.  Our young people will explore God's goodness and celebrate a ferocious faith that will power them through this wild life.  Register your child today!  It's free! 

VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED!!!!  Please see Marnette Valcin or Pastor Smith if you're interested.  Our biggest need is teachers.  We provide complete scripts for volunteers to use each evening. It's super easy to teach, even if teaching is not your day job.  But if that's not your thing, we also need volunteers for crafts, games, snacks, decoraing, registration, set up and break down.  Sign up to volunteer today!

Attention teens and young aduts!  It's time for our annual youth week of prayer - this year's theme is "Be the Change", and it promises to be life-changing!  Our guest speaker is Pastor Anastacia Ferguson-Bansie.  She preaches for our worship services on Saturday, July 13 (9:15 and 11:45 a.m.), Sunday, July 14 (6:00 p.m.), Wednesday, July 17 (7:00 p.m.) and Friday, July 19 (7:00 p.m.).  We'll host a special dinner for our young people at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, July 16 - location to be announced shortly.  If you have any questions, please see Arlette Pile.  We encourage you to bring a friend or two!

Have you graduated already this year?  Will you be graduating later this year?  If you answered "yes" to either question, we want to celebrate your accomplishment in our annual graduation celebration.  This year's festivities take place on Saturday, June 22, during the 11:45 a.m. service.  We ask all graduates to wear their caps and gowns and participate in our processional (we'll be playing Pomp and Circumstance, of course!).  We want our church family to celebrate with you.  Please register online to participate, or call the church office [301-853-2224].
