ISLAND KIDS
Sunday at 9:00 + 11:00 AM
Island Kids 2s & 3s and 4s & 5s:
This month, we are taking our preschoolers on an exciting journey as we teach them that God made everything. This Sunday, we’re in Genesis 1:20-23, where God created the sea animals and birds. Our August memory verse is: “God saw everything he had made. And it was very good.” Genesis 1:31 (NIrV)
Island Kids 1st – 5th Grade:
This Sunday, we’re teaching the kids that you can trust that God is with you. We’ll be exploring Jacob’s Dream in Genesis 28:10-22 (supporting: Genesis 25:19-34; 27). Help your kids memorize our August verse: “Faith is being sure of what we hope for. It is being sure of what we do not see.” Hebrews 11:1 (NIrV)
Exciting changes are ahead!
Starting September 7th, we’re moving to three Sunday services —
8:30, 10:00, and 11:30 AM.
With this growth comes a big opportunity: Island Kids needs more loving leaders and teen helpers (ages 12+). Whether you enjoy teaching, leading,
or simply being a friendly face, there’s a place for you!
When you serve, you help kids grow in their faith and make it possible
for families to worship and grow — together.
Will you say yes? Let’s be ready for what God is doing.

Join us as we continue our journey through the Bible in a Year at Women’s Bible Class! This semester, we’re excited to welcome Pastor Chris Coats (Senior Pastor) and Pastor Colby Rohde (Discipleship Pastor) during our teaching time. Each week, they’ll help us go deeper into the previous Sunday’s message—unpacking key themes, exploring applications, and highlighting meaningful passages. Their insights will bring fresh perspective and practical guidance as we seek to live out God’s Word. We look forward to growing together in faith and fellowship!

GRIEF SHARE
9/11 @ 6:30PM
A GriefShare group is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. At this 13-week support group program, you’ll discover what to expect in the days ahead, learn what’s “normal” in grief, and gain solid support each step of the way.
At each weekly meeting, you will view a video featuring respected counselors, pastors, and healthcare professionals on grief-related topics, plus you’ll hear relatable personal stories of grief. After that is a small-group discussion to allow people time to talk, share support, and personally apply what they learned on the video. Everyone will receive a book to take home filled with valuable exercises for navigating their personal grieving process.
