- Father/Daughter Dance & Mother/Son Game Night: Calling all Mothers and Fathers AND Sons and Daughters— young and old! This event is for you— The Charlotte Church is hosting a Mother Son Game Night & Father Daughter Dance on March 11th at 6:00-8:00PM. The Father Daughter Dance will be held in the Fellowship Hall and the Mother/Son Game Night will be in the Gym– each event is separate but running simultaneously. For each event, dessert and drinks will be provided as refreshments along with a special night full of fun and laughter. This event will be $20 per parent. (For example, if a dad was taking his 2 daughters to the dance, the event would cost $20 because it is 1 parent). This event is dependent on having 25 parents register and pay. If the event does not have enough registered by February 11th, the event will be canceled, and you will be reimbursed for your registration. So please click the link below to register and save your spot for this special night!
- Women's Book Study: Sisters! We have another opportunity to connect with another book study! “40 Days of Decrease guides readers through a study of Jesus’ uncommon and uncomfortable call to abandon the world’s illusions, embrace His kingdom’s realities, and journey crossword and beyond. Designed to prepare our hearts for Easter, 40 Days of Decrease can also be experienced by those who desire to honor Christ’s resurrection year-round.”
- The study will be from Wednesday February 22-Thursday April 6th.
- The title of the book is "40 Days of Decrease" by Alicia Britt Chole.

- HOPE ww Community Suppers: In honor of Dr. King, in 2023 each month, we are asking all of our members and friends to consider hosting a meal in your home where you intentionally invite people who are different from you to break bread with you. The purpose for this activity is to help us all to become intentional at practicing radical hospitality and building relationships with people from all walks of life. Please click here for ideas on how you can achieve this.
