Midweek Meal: Chef Chuck prepares this delicious four-course dinner weekly. The meal costs $8 for adults and $2 for children. You may order and pay online via our weekly emails, including a monthly option for your convenience. You are also welcome anytime to pay cash/check/credit card at the door without a reservation. Our buffet lines will be open from 5:30-6:00 p.m. in the gym. Take-out is available from the kitchen door for those who pay online.
“Growing in Grace” Music and Faith Development:
For preschoolers, the Tiny Tunes (3’s) & Cherub Choir (PreK) will learn more about God as they sing, play instruments, and participate in musical activities. During Faith Development, children will learn about God and our world through a story about animals, a movement activity, and a devotion. Tiny Tunes children should have their 3rd birthday before 9/30/24.
For elementary children, the Joyful Spirit Choir (Kg), Melody Makers Choir (1st & 2nd Gr), and Young Musicians Choir (3rd – 5th Gr) will take a “Joyful Journey in The Beatitudes” while learning songs and engaging activities to strengthen their knowledge about God. During Faith Development, children will participate in activities about The Beatitudes (Matthew 5:1-10) and learn how to apply these teachings of Jesus to their lives.
Children’s Chimes/Bells: We offer two instrumental ensembles for children in 1st – 5th. These groups learn the basics of ringing chimes/bells in a fun-filled environment. The ensembles perform a few times per year at children’s programs or in worship. It is important that participants are on time and committed to attending rehearsals each week.
- 1st & 2nd Grade Chime Choir (Mrs. Nancy Hartgrove, Director)
- 3rd – 5th Grade Handbell Choir (Rev. Taylor Vancil, Director)
Wee Praise: This 45-minute interactive gathering is for our youngest children. Each session, which takes place in room 248, includes music, movement, and faith-building fun led by Mrs. Emily Boddy. Please note that Wee Praise will not resume until September 11.
- 10 am & 5 pm: open to infants – preschoolers, with an adult.

“Just One Second”: Just One Second is our very own youth fellowship and devotions on Wednesday nights from 6:00-7:00 pm. It features group games, challenges, trivia, and all expressions of fun. Students also learn about missionaries serving around the world.
Next Steps: Formation and Fellowship: This dynamic adult discipleship gathering takes place from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. in Room 246. This fall, Rev. Tom Mitchell, will lead a study entitled “Practicing the Way.”
