Evening Programs for ages 3 years to 5th grade

June 2 - 6, 2019
6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Send your kids on a Roaring Adventure!

At Roar VBS, kids discover that even though life gets wild, GOD is good. Roar is filled with incredible Bible-learning experiences kids see, touch, and even taste! Sciency-Fun Gizmos team-building games, cool Bible songs, and tasty treats are just a few of the standout activities that help faith flow into real life. (Since everything is hands-on, kids might get a little messy. Be sure to send them in play clothes and safe shoes. ) Plus, we’ll help kids discover how to see evidence of GOD in everyday life- something we call GOD Sightings. Get ready to hear that phrase a lot!

Avoca VBS is for ages 3 years old up through kids entering 5th grade in the Fall of 2019. It starts Sunday, June 2nd and goes through Thursday, June 6th. Sunday night, the 2nd, we will have a kick off dinner for the kids, and their families, starting at 5:00 P.M. Then, VBS will be each night from 6:00 P.M. until 8:00 P.M.

CIY Move: Senior High Students

CIY Move: Senior High Students

CIY Move is more than a conference, more than a week of camp. Move, hands down, will be one of the most powerful and moving weeks of your life. We will spend a week diving into the theme of Contrast. This is where we will discover what it means to be a kingdom worker, how to be different and how to make a difference. There's a stark contrast between a life that's lived for the King and one that's lived for anyone or anything else. What are those differences? How should our lives be distinct? That's what this is all about. And the best part, we'll discover this together with our high school student ministry.

Feeding 5000

Feeding 5000

This program started last summer as a way for us as a church to reach out in love to children and families in our community. Throughout the summer months, we meet a need by sending bags of food home on a weekly basis with children at local elementary schools who otherwise would have no access to food while school is not in session.

To make this successful for the second year in a row, we need your help. You can get involved by donating non-perishable food items, donating money, volunteering to shop, packing food and also delivering food.

Current Summer Schedule (subject to change)

  • Shop for food on Wednesday mornings
  • Pack food on Wednesday afternoons
  • Deliver to Mountain View Apartments on Wednesday evenings
  • Follow the Sullivan County and Bristol City lunch programs

For more information and to sign up, visit the Information Center or contact feeding5000.avocachurch@gmail.com.
