Mission Trip
We have been actively supporting the hurricane recovery efforts in Louisiana. So far, four adult teams and one youth team (totaling nearly 100 volunteers), have travelled to Louisiana to bring supplies and help with rebuilding.
The next mission trip will be in June, 2007. Everyone is welcome to join in this rewarding experience. You will work hard, eat well, get a break from the cold weather, and know that you have served God through service to your fellow man. Please post here if you are interested in joining this team, or if you would like to help with this mission in any way.

Youth Mission Trip
In June 2006 42 youth and adult leaders travelled to Slidell, Louisiana and worked hard at rebuilding homes which were destroyed by hurricane Katrina. In June, 2007, 63 youth and adult leaders are planning to travel to New Orleans and help with rebuilding in the devastated 9th Ward area. They will leave June 16th and return June 24th, 2007.
Please leave any questions, comments or words of encouragement here.

Sprouts (3rd-6th grade)
We meet on Wednesdays from 6:00 - 7:00 p.m.
Children learn about justice issues, mission work, scripture reading and journaling. This is a wonderful opportunity for children to learn to put into practice all the stories that they have learned in Sunday School. If you love kids, love your Lord and want to help kids learn to love Him too, please leave your post here.

11:00 Cornerstone
Cornerstone is a unique Sunday school format which allows tremendous flexibility in teaching schedules. Teach once a year, teach every other month, weekly, whatever level you can commit to - we will work with you. The curriculum is a blast and the kids really respond to the lessons! Lessons may include cooking, music, art, puppets, drama, storytelling, games – you decide! And if you have a special talent you’d like to share, we’ll work it in!
Shepherds are always needed and have the task of getting to know the kids and guiding them on their spiritual journey. You won’t be preparing lessons, only staying connected to share God’s love with your students.

Special Events
We often travel with the youth to events and activities. We must have 2 adults with any group of youth, at all times. Therefore volunteers are needed, especially for transportation supervision. Please post here if you would be willing to accompany youth on an event (you don't need to provide the transportation, just ride along).
