The camp is three days: August 5-7 from 9-11:30 a.m. Grandparents and their grandchildren have a fun opportunity to spend time together while sharing stories about God’s love. There will be Bible stories, art projects, music, service projects, snacks, and more! All children who are in Pre-K through 5th Grade are welcome to participate. Activities will be designed to accommodate different age groups. Adults who do not have grandchildren but would like to participate can be paired with children who do not have grandparents for an added layer of connection within our intergenerational church family. The cost is $25 per family.

The class is led by FPC's former faith community nurse, Catherine Lynn.

The contemplative service creates time and space to experience God in a different way in worship. This style of worship follows a similar order of worship as our 11 a.m. service and uses the same scripture but is more intimate and experiential. The service will be unique each week. It may incorporate elements of silence, reflective prayer, music, and/or meditation; however, communion will be served each week. Is it your first time visiting us?
