Children's Ministry Meeting

Mapping out what's ahead for kids ministry at Pea Ridge
Pastor Dan is hosting a children's ministry team meeting on Sunday, October 27 right after the service in the sanctuary. You will have an opportunity to hear some new ideas and provide feedback on how things are going, what's working and what needs to change. In addition, you will receive some expectations of team members as we move forward in helping our kids to know Jesus and follow him daily. Those who have served in the past and aren't currently serving are encouraged to attend, along with anyone who is interested in children's ministry.

Trunk or Treat

Decorate your car, dress up and hand out candy!
We are partnering with Pea Ridge United Methodist Church and Christ Presbyterian Church to offer a community Trunk or Treat on Tuesday, October 29 from 6-7:30 p.m. at the Barboursville Farmer’s Market. Set up is from 5:15-5:45 p.m. If you can’t participate but want to help, donations of candy can be placed in the basket outside of the church office. Go to the link below to sign up so we can plan for the number of trunks:

Shoebox Packing Party

Give the gift of the Gospel this Christmas!
On Saturday, November 2 from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. we are having an Operation Christmas Child shoebox packing party! You are invited to stop by the fellowship hall during those hours to help pack boxes. This is a great way for families to serve together as we pack shoeboxes so that the Good News of the Gospel can be shared with children around the world. Help us meet our goal of 175 shoeboxes! Donations of WOW gifts are needed for every age group. Other items needed are solar calculators, hairbrushes, combs, toothbrushes, washcloths and a few pairs of scissors.  Click below for a list of WOW item ideas.
