County Fair- Since 2004 we have provided free face painting and temporary tattoos at the County Fair. In fact, for many people, we are considered a staple part of the Fair's activities. This is our best opportunity all year to connect with kids and families that we would otherwise not have any access to. It is a true joy to see kids' faces light up when they see their face in the mirror. We even have adults stop by to have their faces decorated. What a simple, and yet real way to show the love of Christ, by providing something like this at no cost. Like God's love, there are no strings attached; it is
freely given.
Harvest Party- Since 2004, this is our Halloween alternative event. In addition to TONS of candy, there are games and a chili dinner. At the end of the evening, Pastor Stan carves a pumpkin in a manner that illustrates the Gospel story.
Easter- Since 2004, we have hosted a free community breakfast.
Angel Tree- Since 2010, we have partnered with Angel Tree to provide gifts to children of incarcerated parents.
Block Parties- Since 2010, during the summer months, we have been taking our potlucks out into the community. At these events, we provide activities for the kids (bounce house, crafts, etc.) and food for everyone.
