Love in Action is a mission opportunity for the whole family.  One Sunday a month, we meet in the Youth Center from 12-2 pm (unless otherwise noted) to participate in different service actives.    Past Love in Action’s have included making care packages for the troops, cards for shut-ins, cakes for Our Mother’s Home, and supporting different service groups throughout our community.  Pizza lunch is provided!

 

 

Children’s Movie Night is the second Friday of the month.  All kids ages 4 years through 4th grade can come to the Youth Center from 6 pm- 9pm for a pizza dinner, movie, games and crafts.  Kids enjoy the time to hang out and “be kids” while parents can enjoy a night out!  A donation of $3 per child is asked to help cover costs.  Bring a friend!
