Backyard Clubs For Kids This Summer

We are now forming teams for Summer Backyard Bible Clubs for Kids. Because we have a passion to transform the lives of children and minister to our community, we have decided to “go out” into our neighborhoods this summer and minister to children via Backyard Bible Clubs. Going into our neighborhoods will enable us to reach more children with the good news of Jesus Christ.

A “Training and Equipping” Workshop is planned for Saturday, April 27 from 9:00 a.m. until 12 noon at the Lighthouse. Maureen Burger, from Child Evangelism Fellowship has been invited to come and provide the training. We invite you to attend this training and to consider being part of the team!

This will be very casual and good time for everyone.  Doors on side and back of South Campus church open at 5:45 p.m. Feel free to bring your supper. Hope to see many of you ladies!

Small Groups 

Small Group Hosts/Facilitators Needed
As we launch small groups this fall with discussions centered around the Doctrines of the Free Church, we are looking for people who would be willing to open their homes to host/facilitate a small group starting in September. As a host/facilitator, you have the option of picking a time and day of the week that works best for you. Please sign up on Sunday or call Nate or Paul. Some may wish to just host and others just facilitate (as you may not have the room in your home for a small group) please sign up and we will match you with another couple/person to team up with. We are planning on providing training and encouragement to host/facilitators on August 22, to help your group experience be meaningful and successful. If you have any questions please contact Nate Johnson (629.1106) or Paul Sommerfeld (715.497.8171)

Small Group Host/Facilitators Training Meeting
If you are looking to host/facilitate a small group this fall, you will need to attend a special night of host training on Wed. August 22 from 7-9 pm at the South Campus. We will be focusing on helping you be successful as a host/facilitator and have a beneficial group experience. The training event itself will be a small group experience as well as provide you with information on the small groups and materials for this fall.

Cash Mob!

All this said, everyone is invited to participate.  The business of choice is “Sprouts”.  Meet at Robinson Park, downtown Pine City at 1:30 pm, Monday, June 23.  Bring with you $5, $10, or $20, we will enter the store, shop around a bit and when you find something you would like to purchase, do so! This will be so much fun! Don’t miss out!
