Church Announcements

  • Upcoming Midweeks: Brothers and Sisters, we are looking forward to seeing everyone on February 1st for our midweek time together. Joel and Diane Shytle will be teaching on “Growing Your Faith” from 2 Peter 1:3-11. Then on March 1st we will be split men and women. The women will focus on our scripture theme for International Women’s Day which is Gen 16:13 “Seen and Heard”. More details to come. Looking forward to a great time together.
  • 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!
