Parents and Teens!
Just a reminder that our second Summer Fellowship Night is tonight!
Date: Tonight
Time: 6:30–8:00 PM
Location: JD Custards in Englewood (we’ll then walk across the street to Centennial Park)
Throughout the evening, students will enjoy ice cream, a short devotional, discussion, prayer, and plenty of time for fellowship and recreation. Our recreation time is “open gym” style, so students are encouraged to bring any sports equipment they’d like to share, such as footballs, soccer balls, baseball gloves, tennis or paddle ball equipment, Frisbees, volleyballs, or basketballs.
Please have your student bring:
* Bible
* Journal
* Pen
* Money for ice cream (if they would like to purchase some)
* Any sports equipment they’d like to share
As a reminder, if purchasing ice cream would be a financial hardship, please let me know privately. We never want finances to keep a student from participating, and I would be happy to cover the cost.
Don’t forget to invite a friend! Summer Fellowship Nights are designed to be a welcoming environment where students can easily invite their friends to join us as we build friendships, grow in our faith, and enjoy time together this summer.
I can’t wait to see everyone tonight! Please let me know if your student is planning to join us tonight or if you have any questions!

Hello Parents!
I wanted to let you know that unfortunately, due to me currently having the flu and still being contagious, I need to cancel our Jungle Jim’s outing that was scheduled for tomorrow. While I’m very disappointed to have to do this, I want to be mindful of everyone’s health and safety.

The good news is that we have already rescheduled the outing for Saturday, February 28th, and it will take place at the same times as originally planned, 11am-5pm. You can register using the same link provided in all previous emails or all the church center app. If you have already registered your student, no need to do it again - the registration has been saved.

Thank you so much for your understanding and flexibility. I truly appreciate your grace, and I’m looking forward to being back to full health and being with your students once again!

Teens, don’t forget to join us for the coziest Christmas party of the year! Students, grades 7-12, are invited to rock their best flannel and show up hungry because we’re stacking the night high with fluffy flapjacks and all the toppings.

We’ll have Christmas games, fun surprises, gifts for every student, and a joyful time celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior. It’s going to be festive, loud, sugary, and SO much fun — your teen won’t want to miss it!

Hi Church Family,

Due to the weather conditions and out of an abundance of caution for everyone’s safety, all morning church services and activities are canceled tomorrow.

We know this is disappointing, but the safety of our families, students, and volunteers is our top priority. We encourage everyone to stay safe, avoid unnecessary travel, and take care of one another.

Thank you for your understanding and flexibility. We are praying for safety and peace for our community.

December 6 - Teen Service/ Scholarship Opportunity!

We’re excited to offer our teens a meaningful opportunity to serve local Air Force families during their Christmas party by providing childcare for their school-age children. Students will help lead simple crafts, fun games, Bible stories, and more as we give these families a night of rest and joy before deployment.

This is also a scholarship opportunity!
Each teen—and any parent who signs up to serve alongside them—will earn a $50 scholarship toward Spring Retreat or the 2026 Mission Trip. Don’t need the extra money? You can donate any money earned to any other teen in need!

Important details:
- Only 10 spots are available (first come, first served).
- Students or parents must message Missy or Ashley to secure their spot.
- Event is Saturday evening, December 6 (exact time frame will be provided soon).
- This is a great way for our teens to live out their faith, serve with compassion, and support military families in a tangible way.
