Nicaragua Mission Trip
It's almost time to venture onto an uncharted Island where kids will learn to anchor in the truth that Jesus carries them through life's storms. Kids will get an opportunity to learn about Jesus' parables, miracles, and resurrection. This is one week you don't want to miss! We will start out Vacation Bible School this year with a Family Kick- off dinner on June 10 at 6:00 p.m. Shipwrecked Vacation Bible School will be June 11-14 from 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. 

June Basket Ministry  - We are collecting sunscreen, shaving cream, and disposable razors for Flowering Branch Children's Shelter.  Donations may be placed in the baskets in the lobbies of the Sanctuary and Family Life Center.  Thank you for giving!
