Sunday Evenings at Sea Island For Children, Youth & Parents
Begins September 15

We begin this new cycle of ministry with a cook out, games, a devotion, and fellowship. We will also receive information about the schedule for the year regarding lock-ins and retreats.

Wednesday Kirk Night
September 18: Supper & Small Groups

A new 6-week study begins with a book study on “The 4:8 Principle led by Julie Mabe. Based on Philippians 4.8 it seems fitting at this time when our world is so politically divided and angry. Our time together will help us clear our heads with God’s positivity for a joy-filled life or you can sit with Pastor Steve and delve into some of the theological understandings of the Bible as they relate to life and faith. Registration for supper and the classes will be available beginning August 25.
