Heart for Kids Missions Emphasis
There are two ways to join us for our Heart for Kids Missions Emphasis over the next month.
Way One
Join the Missions Team by supporting the AVID program at Ridgecrest Elementary school. During the month of April we will collect donations, you can sponsor a student for $20. The program supplies all the students with school supplies, so they have an equitable start to the school year. The organizational skills they learn will last a lifetime.
As you know it is so important for students to start the school year with all the supplies they need. Ridgecrest is always very grateful for the support of their School and students. Our connections to the community grow and deepen because of Anona’s generosity! Donations can be made online or just write AVID in check memo line.
The Children will start school with all the supplies and tools they need for a successful year. You are a part of making an impact on the next generation!
Way Two
Help out the sew for kids ministry by bringing in gently used clean t-shirts (mens sizes only) large or extra large. Look for laundry baskets at Church entrances and in the lobby,

Prayer Experience
Prayer Experience
Travel around to different prayer stations and experiences with your family and friends as we visit with different parts of Jesus’ story and prepare our hearts leading up to Easter. With hands-on activities, and quiet moments of reflection, this All-Ages event will be a time of experience and connection.
The Story of Us Class Begins
Before the Bible became a bound book, it pulsated with life and humanity. Sean Gladding invites us to eavesdrop on the dialogues of those engaging with the Story of God for the very first time. Picture people gathered around a crackling campfire in Babylon, lounging at a table in Asia Minor, or huddled together by the soft glow of candlelight in Rome. In these moments, we encounter individuals experiencing the Story for the first time and the hundred-and-first time. Together, we unravel a narrative that feels both familiar and unexpectedly fresh. "The Story of God, the Story of Us" unfolds Scripture as a captivating tale that introduces us to characters who mirror ourselves. For as much as the Bible narrates God's story, it also weaves the intricate threads of our own—a narrative, perhaps, we've yet to fully grasp.
- Tues, Starting March 4
- 6:30-8:00pm
- Facilitator: Karen Creamer
