This flocking is done in good spirits and is not meant to be mean.  These flamingos will roost on the person's lawn for 2 days, unless they pay (with a small donation) for their prompt removal. If they so choose, they can not only have them removed, but they can also choose to send them to someone else!! (included in the same fee!)

Afraid of being flocked? You can purchase anti flock insurance to Block the Flock! ONLY $20.00!!

The flocks come in two sizes, small (12 birds) and large (24 birds).

If you are flocked you have 3 choices:

1.  Pay to send them to someone else! Choose either the large flock or the small one and have our feathered friends rest in someone else's yard!

2. Pay the wrangler fee to have them gathered up and removed immediately.

3. Do nothing, and they will simply fly off after the 2 days are up.

The More of Him Life Group is a unique group of disciples committed to experiencing more of CHRIST in their lives and sharing HIS love toward others daily.

Everyone is welcome in the More of Him Life Group. We are a group, which as one member expressed recently, relates well with each other through our “rock solid” foundation in CHRIST.

• Many of our members serve in various ministry positions through out the church,  and support a collection of mission projects thru out the year. They rotate in and out of the group as needed, something we collectively support and encourage.

• We have been focusing upon our role as spiritual leaders in our studies, which includes following God’s agenda, not our own, and leading others to do the same.

• On October 16th we will begin a study focused upon HEAVEN which promises to be outstanding and extraordinarily insightful. We are all excited about this particular study and look forward to it with great expectation.

• The More of Him Life Group enjoys time and fellowship together, whether it’s through our studies or through social events.

• Our next social event is Saturday, October 22nd at 4:00 PM – 8:00 PM for a Fall Celebration. We’d love to have you join us!

• Christianity is a worldview that speaks to every area of life, and its foundational doctrines define its content. 

• Doctrine is the study of what God has to say.

• The truth gives me the right perspective on myself and on the world around me.  

• Learn more about what it means to be a Christian and strengthen the bonds with your Holy Father.

• Soar with us to new heights as we navigate the deepest oceans in our quest to know God.

Fit for Christ

Every Sunday, 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM

Men's Life Group

Time: 6:00 pm

Room: Tree House

Led by: Johnny Phillips

Meets on Sunday nights

An adult bible study group for men.

Our group is made up of men who love sports and came together as part of our CC softball team. We’ve grown into  a dynamic life group who sees the importance of being both physically and spiritually fit.

Our goal is to build relationships through sports and the study of God’s word.

Why FIT FOR CHRIST?

• At the end of the Son of God's time on earth, He had staked everything on His relationships with twelve men. All Jesus wanted was a few men who would think as He did, love as He did, see as He did, teach as He did, and serve as He did. All He needed was to revolutionize the hearts of a few, and they would impact the world. ..and these guys were the small group responsible for carrying on everything Jesus had begun. The mega strategy of Jesus: make disciples." (excerpts from David Platt, Radical )

• Making disciples is relational. As a ball team we built relationships and it became evident to me that there was a need to stay connected and hold each other accountable to carry out the purpose of God in our lives. Thus, the life group: Fit for Christ.

• January will  see us preparing for the softball season with work out challenges, and a new bible study.
