IN-PERSON WORSHIP
Sunday worship services are held in in our sanctuary at 9am and 11am!
Masks are optional (except for children ages 2-4 and volunteers working with children ages 4 and under) but they are encouraged. There is a marked "masks required" section in the front right of the sanctuary for those who don't wish to sit with unmasked attendees.
ONLINE WORSHIP
You can join us virtually via our live-streamed services at 9am and 11am on YouTube and Facebook, or watch the service later, beginning on Sunday afternoon.
This Worship Resource Page serves as a companion to the online worship service and includes song lyrics and sermon scripture.
SUNDAY SCHOOL
Newborn-Preschool: Class is available during services. Upon drop-off, parents/guardians and children receive wristbands with matching numbers. Parents supply their wristband to pick up their child at the conclusion of the service.
Kindergarten - Grade 5: Class is available during both services. Children in this age group will begin in the sanctuary for worship with their parent/guardian and will be dismissed to the CE Room after the Congregational Prayer.
Grades 6-12: All youth will begin in the sanctuary for worship with their parent/guardian and will be dismissed to the Large Youth Room after the Congregational Prayer.
Adults: Classes for adults begin at the start of each service upstairs.

VBS OFFERING
Each year our Vacation Bible School children have an exciting offering project, and this year's VBS offering project is to continue raising funds for the Nono Clinic in Zimbabwe!
The Nono Mission serves a rural community in the northwestern region of the country, and this community has lacked access to medical care, with the closest facility being 50 miles away. The BIC Church in Zimbabwe has been working to build a clinic building over the last several years, and the building is now ready for the roof to be built. BIC World Missions is seeking to raise money for the completion of the building (BICWM Project #1584), and our VBS children and families, as well as our church family, are invited to give toward this life-changing need.
Contributions toward the VBS offering project can be given in person at our worship services, during our VBS evenings, by mailing a check to the church, or through our online giving portal anytime from now through the month of July.

CHURCH PICNIC
We're excited to announce that we will be having a Church Picnic at Lingle Park on Sunday, July 17, 4:00 to 8:00pm!
There will be a few fun activities to choose from, but most of the time will be unstructured, giving us the opportunity to hang out with friends and to make new friends.
The evening will include a pot-luck picnic dinner. Fried chicken, hot dogs, and beverages will be provided, and everyone attending will be asked to bring something toward the meal. It'll be a special time - we hope you'll save the date!
If you'd like to help with the planning for the picnic, the Hospitality Ministry Team would love to know of your interest. Contact Pastor Lynda to volunteer!
