FAMILY FUN 4TH- JULY 2026
UPDATE 6/24/2026
Dear Church Family,
For many years, our Fourth of July event has been a wonderful opportunity to gather, celebrate, enjoy fellowship together, and reach our community. This year, however, we have decided not to host our traditional Family Fun 4th event.
Instead, we want to encourage our church family to be present throughout our community by serving at local events and activities happening over the holiday weekend. We believe this is a meaningful opportunity to build relationships, support our neighbors, and be the hands and feet of Jesus beyond the walls of our church.
Below you’ll find a list of community volunteer opportunities available this year. Whether you can serve for an hour or an entire day, we encourage you to prayerfully consider getting involved.
As a church, we are grateful for the many ways God allows us to love and serve our community. We hope you’ll join us in making a positive impact this Fourth of July by investing your time and energy where it’s needed most.
Thank you for being a church that cares deeply about serving others. We look forward to hearing stories of the connections made and lives touched through these opportunities.
Blessings,
Pastor Mike & Carola
