Activities We must always carefully evaluate the amount of extra curricular social activities sponsored by or official encouraged by the church in order to guard against offering such a volume of such activities (which clearly have their place) that the ministry of the church is undermined. We know the propensity for over programming. Therefore, our list is intentionally short. Click on a social activity below for a brief review.
On Thursday evenings each summer we participate in a city-wide church softball league. two games are played each wee at 6 and 7 PM on park district diamonds. On most evening you will find many of the family members of the players enjoying the games. The photo gallery includes some pics of our star (and not so star) athletes. On Saturdays during January, February and March we field basketball teams in 3 different age brackets. The youngest team is made up of 7, 8 and 9 year olds. The middle team is made up of 10 and 11 year olds. The third team is for Jr. High aged youth. These teams are open to both boys and girls. From time to time, men in the church organize a series of vocational training classes for the interested youth of the church. Recently we have had classes in woodworking and computer technology. A group of ladies get together every Wednesday to enjoy their hobby of quilting. They have specialized in making a baby quilt for every family in the church as that family has a new baby added to their family. A number of annual events provide family entertainment throughout the year. Mostly these are church wide events hosted by a family in the church. Typically the events include a New Year party, mid summer picnic and an early fall campout.
