Camp: Ready! Set! Grow!
We will have camp on August 18, 19, 20 please be in prayer for all who are involved: families, staff and volunteers. We are excited to be focusing on the fruits of spirit throughout those three days. May the Holy Spirit be evident and present in everything we do.
Monthly Mission Offering
Mom's Morning Out is an outreach ministry within our very own church walls. During the school year we welcome between 80 and 90 kids of all ages on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:00am to noon. This affordable childcare program offers parents a chance to run errands and get a break. The teachers within the program are stay-at-home moms who are able to make an income while being able to bring their children. We strive to make it more than just a daycare program, but a community for fellowship and building relationships. We meet a lot of families from Ellsworth Air Force Base, as well as other areas in the Black Hills. We will be adding chapel times into the schedule this fall and always welcome volunteers, who can pass a background check! This is a huge opportunity for our church to build connections with families outside of Sunday-morning programs. If you are interested in learning more about our program reach out to Hannah O’Donnell, MMO Director.
