Costa Rica 2027 Opportunities: Come to an info meeting!
Meeting: Sunday, September 20 at 10:10am in the Gym
Trip Dates: February 20-27; June date tbd (open to current high schoolers)
Two trips are being planned for 2027 as we continue to spread the love of Jesus alongside our Costa Rica brothers and sisters in Christ. Both trips will be centered around manual labor at the Methodist Children's Home near San Juan, as well as a local VBS at a primitive-like church, and one fun day! Many have taken the trip over the past ten years and experienced God in a meaningful way while using their time, talents, and energies for His Kingdom. Come and find out more, including information on fund raising, logistics, lodging, etc.
Here's a look at a recent trip to the same areas:

Read Through the New Testament in 3 Months!
Join the Women’s Bible Club beginning in October!
Maybe you’ve started reading through the Bible before but didn’t make it all the way through—or maybe jumping in with the New Testament feels like the perfect place to begin. Either way, this is a great time to join us!
The Women’s Bible Club is wrapping up the Old Testament over the next few weeks, and we’ll begin the New Testament in early October. We follow a daily—and very doable!—reading plan on the Bible App (The Bible Recap plan). Each day includes a few chapters of Scripture followed by a brief recap video to help you better understand what you’ve read.
Since beginning this journey in January, we’ve been reading through Scripture together and getting to know God more through His Word. We’d love for you to join us for the New Testament! Click below to sign up, and we’ll be in touch soon!
