We are excited to participate in the Boardwalk Chapel again this summer! From August 15–22, we will be heading to Wildwood, NJ to take part in this unique outreach ministry that shares the gospel with vacationers along the boardwalk. Through nightly programs with music, skits, and Bible teachings, the Boardwalk Chapel presents the message of Christ in a welcoming, public setting, while also training volunteers in personal evangelism so they can confidently engage with people right on the boardwalk. We encourage those of all ages from the church to consider joining us. Registration and lodging are covered- you simply need to cover your travel to and from Wildwood, and group vans may be available. If you have any questions or would like to register, please contact Pastor Mark.
During the evening worship service, we will have a special sendoff for our Boardwalk Chapel team as they prepare to serve in New Jersey. Join us as we pray for God's blessing, protection, and guidance as they faithfully evangelize and share the good news of the gospel with those they meet. Please keep the team in your prayers throughout the week as they serve.
After the evening service, Kaden Shook will give a presentation about his recent mission trip to the Dominican Republic. Stick around to see what the Lord is doing overseas. Ice cream will be served after!
