Upcoming Events






Chuch Wide Fall Festival
Mark your calendar for our annual Fall Festival on Sunday, October 26th from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Glenwood Campus.  We'll have food, carnival games, bouncy houses, music & much more. 
One way you can help is to bring candy & drop them off in our candy donation boxes located at both campuses.  Another way to help would be to volunteer to work a 30 minute slot at one of our game stations (Sign up sheets located at nursery check in desk).  Lastly, I know we have some great bakers out there, so get in the kitchen and bake up some cookies, cakes, cupcakes, etc. for our cake walk. 

Family Dedication Sunday
Family Dedication will be on Sunday, November 23, 2014, during both the 9:30 am and the 11:00 am worship services.  This is a time when parents make a commitment to the Christian nurture of their children.  Each child is presented a new testament bible and will receive a certificate of dedication.
