JULY

CHURCH ON THE LAWN
Sundays July 2, 9 & 16 at 9:30 am
Summer is here so we're having church on the lawn again. Bring a chair and be there at 9:30 am. These services will have a family focus and we'll be looking at different stories from the life of Jesus. Here's a Bible reading plan for this series too.

GOD AT THE MOVIES: Sunday Summer Series
Sunday July 23 - August 20 at 9:30 & 11:00 am
This series is always a summer favorite as we look at some movies and how they reflect a great story of God. We'll be looking at how God can rewrite the script in our lives.

BAPTISMS AT THE BEACH
We will host a special Sunday at the beach at the end of this summer. You can find more details here if you are considering getting baptized.

COMING IN AUGUST
Next month we'll continue our God at the Movies series, we begin our School Supply Drive, have Ice Cream Hangouts, End of Summer Kids Party and we'll wrap up summer with Church at the Beach.

GROWTH PATHWAY
The Growth Pathway is a series of next steps to help you grow in your relationship with Jesus. It's not a list of tasks to complete, instead, it's a guide to give some direction to continue to move forward in your faith. Find the guide here.
