Family Events with the Neighborhood...The Easter Butterfly Hunt takes place on a Saturday morning before Easter, rain or shine. All are welcome! Children up through third grade search for hundreds of paper butterflies hidden throughout the building. There are Easter crafts, butterfly face painting, and snacks. It's a great time, and wonderfully low-key on such a sugary weekend!

The Fall Festival takes place on a fall Sunday after worship, and once again all are welcome. A hot dog lunch is finished off with plenty of pies, and the pony rides and petting zoo are a big hit with the kids. Games and fun for all ages make this a wonderful afternoon to share with the neighborhood. Click here for the 2007 Fall Festival Scrapbook Click here for the 2005 Fall Festival Scrapbook
The Christmas Program is meaningful, spiritual time in the midst of a busy season for our families and our community. In 2007, the children led us in worship on a Sunday in Advent, presenting a program of lessons, carols, and dialogue titled "Happy Birthday, Jesus!" The children did a beautiful job. Many thanks to Peggy Mayfield for her work singing with the children.
