Parables in the Park
Wednesdays, 10am-11:30am
Who doesn't love watching kids run, play, and explore playground equipment together? Join us at a different area park each week as we play together, hear a Bible story, pray, and enjoy a simple snack. Every family gets to take home their own copy of the story afterward. For more information, including the schedule, click here or visit our Facebook page for a map to the park, any additional park info you might want to know (bike paths, parking info, equipment notes, etc.) and any weather related announcements.
Summer Rallies
August 10, 6-9pm
This is our Last One of the Summer!
We can't wait to see our whole church family come together to enjoy a home-cooked meal, a time of worship & a short message, fun activities for all ages, and great bonding. We also hope to see many new faces as we encourage our friends and community to join us and experience the love, support, and joy our church family has to offer. Click here for more info and check out our "Event" announcements on Facebook.
Beach Volleyball
Every Sunday 7-9pm All Summer!
(But NOT on July 3 or July 17)
ALL Adults & High schoolers are invited to gather at the Silver Beach volleyball courts to join in friendly competition. Teams are organized there, so no need to sign up ahead of time. Even if you don't play, this is a great time to socialize and cheer on those who are playing. Weather related announcements will be made on Facebook and via CRCSJ Remind texts.
Active Faith BINGO - Summer Challenge
Don't let your faith experience the "summer slide." Join our church-wide challenge to grow your faith this summer. Print out BINGO game cards here (5th Grade thru Adult BINGO Game Card or 4th Grade and Under BINGO Game Card), or pick them up at church, and challenge yourself to complete as many boxes as you can. Track your progress at home, then help us track our group progress by adding stickers to our huge BINGO card on the narthex bulletin board.
"BINGO!"
Did you complete 5 in a row? Bring your card to the CRCSJ Summer Rallies and receive a prize for your Bingo. After you complete one Bingo, challenge yourself to "Blackout" (filling the whole card). Turn in your card (with a new Bingo or Blackout) by Sep. 11 and we'll award grand prizes at the Sunday School Kickoff on Sep. 18.
This is a challenge for your whole family. Who will fill in the most boxes?
Fellowship on the Lawn
Every Sunday, right after worship
Being a part of a family means spending time together, and what better way than while eating a cookie? Every Sunday through the summer, we enjoy a time of fellowship and cookies after worship. When weather cooperates, we offer this time outside, and when it doesn't, we set up in the library. Whether you have been a part of the church forever or are visiting for the very first time, we invite you to stay and join us for a treat.
If you'd like to help with this ministry (by setting up, serving, & cleaning up, or by providing cookies), sign up at the Information Center or contact the church office.
Sunset Sings at the Beach
Join us once a month this summer for a half hour of worship through song at the beach, just before sunset! Here are the dates and times (based on sunset times):
June 26 at 8:30pm
July 24 at 8:15pm
Aug 28 at 8:00pm
Women's Summer Study
Tuesdays, 7-8:30pm through July 26
We're reading and discussing the book Women of the Word: How to Study the Bible with Both Our Hearts and Our Minds by Jen Wilkin which gives women “a clear and concise plan they can use every time they open their Bible. It equips you to engage God’s Word in a way that trains your mind and transforms your heart.”
