Hunger Bowl

Our goal is to pack over 200,000 meals in five separate one-hour sessions in the Youth Center on Sunday, February 8. To do this, we need 160 volunteers per hour on the morning of Super Bowl Sunday!

WHY DO WE DO IT:

Each meal packed will be shipped globally and/or locally by Lifeline Christian Mission to children and families affected by hunger and malnutrition.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

The work is fairly simple and easy, making it a great service opportunity for Elementary-age children, teenagers and/or adults.

Meal packing times are 8:00, 9:00, ~~10:30~~, 11:30 AM, and 12:30 PM. Our most popular meal pack times are 9:00 and 10:30 AM, so if you want to participate, please register early. Gloves and hairnets will be required and are provided.

PLEASE NOTE: If you require childcare, please register during the 9:00 AM meal pack time. (Our 10:30 AM slot is full.)

8:00 AM | 9:00 AM | ~~10:30 AM~~ | 11:30 AM | 12:30 PM

Kids Ministry: Preschool Fun Day is Jan. 19

The Kids Ministry invites all of our preschool-age friends and their caregivers to join us for a Preschool Fun Day on Monday, January 19 (MLK day) from 9:00 to 11:00 AM!

We will have an inflatable bounce house and slide for the kids, along with other large gross motor items to have tons of fun during these cold and dreary times.

Preschool friends, feel free to bring your trikes and scooters as well! We will gather in the Family Life Center and donuts and juice boxes will be provided.

Women's Ministry: Every Thought Captive

Ladies, are your thoughts leading you toward transformation or conformity? Are they building you up or tearing you down? Are they drawing you closer to God or pulling you away?

In our study, ’Every Thought Captive,’ you will explore a topic crucial to your spiritual growth: the battle for your mind.

Join us and learn how God can transform our minds through the power of the Holy Spirit! We will meet on Tuesday evenings from 7:00 to 8:30 PM, beginning January 20, and on Thursday mornings from 9:30 to 11:30 AM, starting January 22.

If you're interested in joining the Kids Ministry Team and making an eternal impact on the next generation, join us at the Mid-Year Volunteer Gathering on Sunday, January 25, from 11:45 AM to 2:00 PM.

We will meet for lunch after the 10:30 service in the Kids Worship Room where we will reflect on the wins in Kids Ministry. We'll also review what’s ahead in 2026.

It will be an important time of encouragement and vision for 2026. Please let us know if you plan on coming!

NOTE: Consider bringing a friend and inviting them to join the team. Together, we are all a part of Kingdom Impact!
