56 Degrees Grades 5 & 6: In October we are beginning our journey through the New Testament, looking at an overview of the gospel books, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. As we piece together the parts of God’s big story, we are discovering how this is a story of God’s plan and His love for each of us. Kids Cove Grade 1- 4: We are discovering the virtue of Gratitude, which is "letting God and people know you see how they’ve helped you."

Worship Gathering @ One88 Join us for worship, coffee, and conversation on Thursdays at 7:00pm. What does it mean to take the words of Jesus seriously? Community in Conversation @ One88 Tuesdays from 11:30 - 1:00pm

One of the goals at One88 is to provide a consistent space for a person (or people) to come and continue “training in godliness.” With all the other commitments that fill our schedule, this can be a challenge. At One88, we have been taking time on Tuesdays at lunch to stop, eat together, and engage in meaningful dialogue. Between 11:30am and 1:00pm, we have what we call Community in Conversation. It is a chance to join with a diverse group of people (usually 8-12 people) in conversation about God, Jesus, & the questions of life. We are grateful for volunteers who provide a light lunch. You are welcome to join us at any time between 11:30 and 1:00 – whenever it fits your lunch time. Currently, we are working through a video series entitled The Red Letters: The Words of Jesus for Today’s World. This series will go until Oct 22 after which we will take on a new study focus. Sunday, October 27: Open Circle coffeehouse from 2pm - 4pm Monday, October 28, 7:00pm: Assembly of God's Children led by Cliff Bone
