Block Parties 2013

Block Party

Want to host a block party?

We as a church have seen the value of hosting block parties. Please contact Audrey Shantz if you would like to host one! Everything is provided for you, and it’s a great way to meet more of your neighbors while sharing the love of Christ.

These dates are available:

July 16, 19, 22, 26, 29, 30, 31 and August 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 26-31



Mid-Service Socials 2013

Mid-Service Socials

July 14 – August 25

Between first and second services in the Fellowship Hall

Last summer, we enjoyed a sense of community by organizing mid-service socials. Worshipers from both first and second services had a chance to meet and hang out in a casual atmosphere. It is our hope to re-create that atmosphere between our services in the months of July & August. To do that, we will need mid-service social hosts. If you or a group that you are a part of are willing to host, please contact Audrey Shantz. Available dates to host are from July 14 to August 25.

Full schedule will be posted as the slots fill up!
