Sunday night, August 8, we will be hosting a lock-in for our youth!

This will be a night of games, movies, and snacks…and probably some mayhem!  This event is for upcoming 6th graders through 12th grade (if you’ve graduated…alright, you can come!) It will start at 8 PM and will end at 8 AM.  If you have any question or want to volunteer to help at the event, please call Chad Gilliland at (205) 447-4601.

On July 10 beginning at 8 am we will hold a 2nd Yard Sale event at Essential. Clean out your garage, closets, playrooms, kitchen cabinets and see what you can DONATE to this event.  You can drop off your “already priced” (if you can please) items at the church.  Volunteers are needed to set up, sell, welcome guests and bake goodies to sell.  Please contact Susan Freeman or Laura Wayland. Thank You!

We are partnering with the organizers of the National Nite Out event at Red Mill park on August 3th from 6-8pm. In the past they have had around 500 people show up for the event. We will be providing a bounce house, sno-cones, pop-corn, and hot dogs. You might be wondering, “Where d0 we get all that equipment from?” Well, the missions network that we are a part of has several “block party trailers” in strategic locations around the state.  We have one of these available to us in the Hampton Roads area. All we need now is volunteers to staff the event. It will be a lot of fun and a great opportunity to serve our community.

We need volunteers for: greeters, regestration table, make sno-cones, make popcorn, monitor the bounce house, set-up and clean-up, transport some tables and chairs to-and-from the event. Volunteers need to arrive at the event at 5 pm to set-up.  Leave a comment below or send an email to let us know you can help with the event.

Here’s some pictures of last year’s event:
