It is just how we are church. Below you will find a list with a brief description of just some of the opportunities. Find a place to use your gifts with us and the community!

COMMUNITY EVENTS

​

Lenten Soup, Sandwiches, & Speakers

Wednesday during Lent, 6:00 p.m.

In the six weeks leading up to Easter, we prepare ourselves by coming together for a simple meal of soup and sandwiches. We also explore an aspect of our local community by inviting a guest speaker to inform us. All are welcome!

Women's Derby Party

Day after Derby, after church

All women of the church and their women friends and family are invited to an afternoon of food, fellowship, and door prizes! Put on your fancy hats (if you wish) and join us! The woman who brings the most canned food for Operation Food Basket wins a special prize.

​

Ice Cream Supper

Last Sunday in July, 7:00 p.m.

The church choir hosts a huge (and delicious) ice cream supper fundraiser. Don't let the title fool you, there are all kinds of treats to satisfy your sweet tooth. It is a great opportunity to not only support the music ministry of the church but get together with friends and neighbors.

Trunk or Treat

Last Sunday in October, 6:00 p.m.

A fun event for the entire community! All ghosts and goblins are invited to the church parking lot (or Education Building if the weather doesn't cooperate). Have fun visiting the decorated vehicles and collecting all the treats!
