Elementary students are invited to Camp Carol Joy Holling to get out and enjoy camp in one compact, fun day. Explore! gives them the perfect opportunity to experience a day of adventure and faith-building out at CJH Camp. In addition to Bible study and worship, they will experience many favorite camp activities together as they share in fun and fellowship. To learn more and register, visit www.cjhcenter.org/explore.
We have opened a PRAYground, a play space for ages 0-4 years old to use during worship in the back of the Chapel. Parents will still be able to hear and participate in worship while their child plays! We are still in need of a few soft/quiet toys for our toy shelf. Please let Greta know if you would like to donate some gently used toys for our prayground!
