What happens to kids’ small groups during the summer? The last day of regular kids’ small groups is June 29. Beginning July 6, we will have nursery and preschool kids’ small groups only. Older kids will worship with their families throughout the service, and we’ll have kids’ worship bags full of cool stuff to help kids engage with the service—or just zone out while they color.
Got (kids’) books? We’ve got some space for books in those great worship bags we’ll have for kids during the summer. If you have gently used children’s books (preschool through 5th grade) you’d like to donate, please place them in the collection bin near the kids’ welcome table through Jun. 29.
You ate a lot of spaghetti. Many thanks to all who supported the West Virginia team at last week’s spaghetti dinner. You donated over $1,500, and the team loved spending time with you. Please continue to pray for them as they go to Philippi in July.
