As a congregation, we enjoy many fellowship events together throughout the year.

Outdoor Events

Our outdoor events include:

  • The Annual Church Picnic, which takes place in June at Lake Erie Community Park.
  • The Community Festival takes place in August on our church property and includes entertainment for the whole family, including food trucks, face painting, balloon art, bounce houses, and a live band and/or DJ.
  • Lemonade on the Lawn – after church refreshments on our church lawn a few times each summer.

 

Sunday Events

Our Sunday events include:

  • Easter Breakfast and Egg Hunt – The men of the church prepare a hot breakfast. After breakfast, the children of the church enjoy an egg hunt.
  • Blessing of the Backpacks – At the start of each school year, Pastor Emily blesses the backpacks, minds, and school year ahead of all those heading back to school.
  • Fall Sunday School Kickoff Breakfast – In September, there’s a breakfast to kick off the new Sunday School year; plus a chance for everyone to meet their Sunday School teacher for the new year.
  • Hanging of the Greens – Before the start of the Advent/Christmas season, the congregation comes together to decorate the church for the season.
