Please register soon!

is the 2026 Vacation Bible School where children use their brain power as they connect with Jesus, family, and friends of all ages! As children learn and create together, they will find a place of belonging, relate to trusted adults, make new friends, and follow Jesus’ example of making room for all and loving one another. Each day includes worship and drama, Bible study, art and science explorations, brain-building challenges, and active games. Daily take-home activities encourage families to grow faith and build community with people of all ages.

Vacation Bible School is coming soon, June 15-19, for kids PreK through Grade 5 from 2:30-4:30 PM each day. All are welcome, including those within our FCOB Child Development Center program! Registration is free, please visit the link in comments.

ASH WEDNESDAY SERVICE
February 18 at 6:30 PM in the Chapel

This Wednesday the season of Lent begins, the time of preparation for Easter which spans from Ash Wednesday through Holy Week. Lent is a time for prayer, fasting, and almsgiving in Christian tradition, seeking closer union with God and each other through self-reflection and acts of service.

Please join us on Ash Wednesday February 18 for a brief service in the Chapel, in which we remember our mortality and finitude, as well as the beauty in our humanity. We will mark our foreheads with ashes as a sign of repentance, alongside readings, songs, and prayer. All are welcome.
