Campfires and hot dogs with the family is a great American tradition.  If you’ve never roasted a hot dog over a fire, we can help you do it!  Bring the kids, spouse, or friend and help us put the church deck to good use.  All the fixings and side dishes will be provided.  Of course, there will be s’mores!

We supply the tents, food, camping equipment and activities.  You supply the family and the fun!  Join us at Parker Dam State park for a Saturday and Sunday of fishing, swimming, hiking and campfires.  There is advanced registration for this activity so call the church office now to get in on this great outdoors activity.  You will need to bring your own sleeping bag or blankets.

We had so much fun last summer that we’re going to do it again.  Dogs, baked beans, macaroni salad and desert, what better meal could you ask for on a nice summer evening.  While the adults relax with an iced tea or cup of coffee we will be having sack races, water balloon toss, three legged races, kick ball games and s’mores for the kids!  Join us for three evenings of great family fun!

It it’s been a while since someone gave your car a good checkup then the Centre Grove parking lot is the place for you on one of these Saturdays.  We’re going to hit it all, oil, air filter, top off your windshield washer fluid, check your battery connection and gauge your tires while you relax with some refreshments in our youth room.
