FP Littles & FP Kids | Sundays in February

9:00am, 10:30am, and 9:30am FP South

Jesus was a true trailblazer, showing a new way to live and love while staying rooted in God. Kids will learn to trust Jesus when it’s hard, let God’s love lead, show others the way to God, and pray as Jesus taught.

Parent Connect: Wed. Feb 25, 6:15-7:15 PM

Parenting Together When We Don’t Always Agree. Parent Connect is a monthly space to connect with other parents, share real stories, and explore practical tools for raising kids together. No lectures. No perfect parents—just community. Details on page 4.

Save the Date June 1st-5th FP Summer Kids Camp - Rainforest Falls

Step into Rainforest Falls, where rushing waterfalls, towering trees, and colorful creatures surround kids in an exciting adventure. Children will discover the nature of God and learn what it means to be deeply rooted in a loving relationship with their Creator—a safe place through every storm.

Early VBS registration will be emailed to all families on February 15.
