Young Adult Retreat

children 4-6th graders

We are excited to announce that the Children Mission’s Choir and Cherub Choir are going to be doing a Christmas music program this year, and we would like to invite all children from the ages of 4 to those in 6^th grade to come join us! Both choirs practice on Wednesday nights. Cherub Choir (ages 4 to Kindergarten) practice while they are in Mission Friends. Children Mission’s Choir (Grades 1^st to 6^th) practice from 6:45 to 7:15 p.m. in the Choir Room before going to their mission groups.

The Christmas program does have many opportunities for the children to sing solos and to have speaking parts. If your child is interested in doing a solo or would like to have an acting part, we will hold auditions on the following Wednesday nights: August 20 & 27, and September 3 & 10.

We will also have a parent’s meeting right after church on Sunday, September 7^th in the Social Hall to go over all the details for the program. This is such a wonderful opportunity for the children to be creative in worship this Christmas season, and we look forward to having your child join us! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Mary Mays at (434) 251-1828 or marykmays@gmail.com.

STARTING SEPT. 7TH – SEPT. 30

Throughout the month of Sept, we will be taking a special offering for our state mission efforts. The money collected will go to the SBCV’s Vision VA efforts which directly supports ministries to provide the resources necessary for people to hear the Gospel both around Va and around the world.

Special Envelopes/prayer guides are available as well as online giving.

Mark your calendars! Our Church Picnic is coming up on Sunday, October 5 at 5:30 PM right here at the church! We’ll gather out back in the parking lot/field just like last year for a fun-filled evening of food, fellowship, and activities.

The church is providing fried chicken, drinks, and paper products.
You bring the flavor! Side dishes, desserts (one or more—always welcome!) will ensure we have lots of everything to eat!
Don’t forget to bring your picnic blanket or camp chair so you can relax and enjoy the evening.

Also we want to encourage yard games. If you have corn hole sets, frisbees, balls for kids to play with, etc, we would welcome some friendly competition.

Please RSVP by Sunday, September 28 so we can prepare for everyone.

We can’t wait to come together as a church family to eat, play, and celebrate God’s blessings!
