Little NERFers Night

December 27, 2019 By Marc Middleton

I hope everyone has had a wonderful and blessed Christmas this year. I also pray that everyone a happy, fun, and safe New Year

I figure what better way to head into 2020 than to have a NERF Night for all the children before they head back to school. On Friday, January 3rd from 6-8 p.m., we will open up the church’s Fellowship Hall and Fireplace Room for a fun night of NERF battles. We may even bust out some laser tag as well (but that’ll be our secret, shh…)

We will also have pizza, snacks, and drinks available as well to make sure our Little NERFers are well fed, hydrated, and game-ready!

You are also welcome to bring your own NERF Blasters, protective wear, and other NERF stuff to this event! We will have a ton of stuff in our armory, but feel free to come battle ready!

If you have any questions, or recommendations for games and activities, please contact Marc Middleton. You can contact him by email at youth@cliobethany.org or by phone at 810-686-5151 (Mon – Fri).

Have a blessed day!

On the Way to Bethlehem: During Advent & Christmas of 2024 we journeyed to Bethlehem as Children & a donkey helped to show us the way throughout Pastor Sarah’s sermon series.

It’s a Wonder-Full Life: Spiritual practice feeds that part of ourselves that is oriented toward
serenity, harmony, truth, compassion, gratitude, love and joy. But these are not always words we use to describe the role of money in our lives. In the classic film, “It’s a Wonderful Life,” a crisis of money
creates vastly diverse reactions from several characters that can hold up a mirror to our own relationships with money.

Do Unto Others: In October 2024, Pastor Sarah led us through a sermon series during a divisive election season where we learned about Doing Unto Others through kindness, compassion, humility, respect and love.

Uncommon Wisdom: In September 2024 Pastor Sarah will share some uncommon biblical wisdom during this 5 part preaching series.

Reshaped: What We’re Made For – In this 4 part series from August 2024 – Pastor Sarah led us through a worship series about getting animated and embracing change. AND we played with a lot of play-do! Experience this series again!

Lay Speakers Includes many sermons from our laity over the years including Jerry Mowl, our All Music Sunday, and most recently Randy Hildebrandt of God’s Country Community Ministry. We also include here a guest clergy speaker, Kim Bos from November of 2023.
