Vacation Bible School is only two weeks away!
 
Two weeks until the biggest Children's Event of the year!
 
Two weeks until we have the amazing opportunity to minister to the children and families of our community!
  
Get ready to be blessed to be a blessing! You have the opportunity to help in the morning and evening for stories, games, mission, and crafts, as well as crew leaders for our groups of kids.
  
This year we are headed to outer space - all the way "To Mars and Beyond!" And we're guided and strengthened by God's power. Our VBS verse is Ephesians 3:20 (CEB) - Glory to God, who is able to do far beyond all that we could ask or imagine by his power at work within us!
  
We will learn how God's power provides us with: Faith, Boldness, Kindness, Thankfulness, and Hope.
  
We're blasting off Sunday, June 23 - Thursday, June 27 from 6-8 p.m., with a free family dinner at 5:15 (please, let us know about dietary restrictions). Our morning sessions run Monday, June 24 - Friday, June 28 from 9-11 a.m., for the children enrolled in COM's summer programs.
  
Help us prepare our decorations Saturday, June 15, from 9-12.
  
And you can sign up to help or register your children online at:
  
Invite and bring friends so they can join in the galactic-sized fun!

Director of Children & Family Ministries


      
Wednesday Evening Study Groups
Come, relax, and enjoy the summer as we gather to study a variety of topics, facilitated by Ron Delph. We will begin with the list below and spend as much or as little time as desired on each. Should you have a different topic or question, we are flexible and will work it in. We gather in Room 219 (upstairs in the new building) on Wednesdays from 6:30-7:30 p.m. Topics: 1. Recognizing and "Hearing" God when He speaks; 2. Understanding the Trinity; 3. Creationism versus Evolution; 4. The Israeli/Arabic conflict; 5. Anger & Depression- The Biblical view; 6. Are there Saints among us; 7. Understanding Propitiation and Dispensation
     Join Don Gatewood weekly as he continues a study in Romans, beginning in chapter 11 this Wednesday, 6:30 p.m., in the Chapel.
