Our theme for summer camp this year is a week full of sports. We have some great stuff planned that your kids will love to be a part of. If you haven't signed up yet them it is time to stop putting it off.
The Coffee Club: Last Days Discussion
"The end is the world is happening on this date!" How many times have we read reports or heard people make these bold predictions? To many to count and even though we know it isn't true, we stop and consider the future. What does God really say about the "last days"? Can anyone really predict the end? What is the rapture and who is taken and why?
These are just a few of the topics we will be discussing, come and listen as Brent Hardgrave leads our discussion on what the Bible says about the end of the earth.
November 29, 6:30 PM - 8:15 PM
Enjoy Breakfast for Dinner. Bring your favorite breakfast dish to share. Breakfast meats (bacon, sausage, ham) will be provided, as well as Cereal for the children.
December 13, 6:00 PM - 7:45 PM
Enjoy a delicious holiday dinner and the conclusion to our discussion of Prophecy and the End Times. Baked ham will be provided. Bring your favorite side dish or dessert to share.
Annual Fall Party
Our Neighborhood Fall Party was a huge success last year. We had many new faces join us as we enjoyed a relaxing day of fun day under a beautiful October sky. The children enjoyed games, a cupcake walk, scavenger hunt, and a hayride.
Invite your friends and neighbors to come have a good time at this years party.

Our Neighborhood Fall Party was a huge success. We had many new faces join us as we enjoyed a relaxing day of fun day under a beautiful October sky. The children enjoyed games, a cupcake walk, scavenger hunt, and a hayride. They received tickets for each activity they took part in, so at the end of the day, they traded their tickets for prizes!
A group of high school students from First Baptist, Albertville, Alabama, joined us to help to host the events. While they made sure that the children had fun at the games, our Grace Falls family members were free to interact with our guests.
The food was delicious as we enjoyed roasted pork, hamburgers, hot dogs, and a variety of dishes and desserts that features some delicious fall recipes!
Next weekend, the Grace Falls family will travel to assist two fellow church planters who will be hosting similar events in their neighborhoods on Saturday and Sunday.
