Gforce Camp:

The Incredible Race

6pm-8:30pm

High Tide Church

Ages: Kindergarten thru 6th Grade

• How to determine grade level: Gforce Camp is open to children who have completed Pre-K and will be entering Kindergarten through 6th grade. A child’s grade level is determined by the grade they will be entering in September 2026 (not the grade they are currently in).

Register

Kids will race from continent to continent uncovering clues and attempting challenges as they fill their score cards. They'll also discover that, no matter where we live, what shade of skin we have, or what language we speak, we are all part of the same race—the human race—and all part of the same family from Adam and Eve through age-appropriate curriculum.

As they examine the events surrounding the tower of Babel, kids will learn that God is calling people from every tribe and nation through his Son, Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world. And that he wants us to share this good news in kindness and love with our neighbors nearby and far away.

Join us at Gforce Camp and experience God's love for every tribe, language, and nation! Don't forget to invite your friends!

Their dedicated staff and volunteers are there to listen, support, and walk alongside those in need. As a nonprofit, they rely on the generosity of churches and community members like us.

Losing a spouse is like losing a part of yourself

Your husband or wife was your partner. Your confidante. Your best friend. The person you turned to in good times and bad. You faced the world side by side, and now your spouse is gone. You wonder how it’s possible to go on.

At GriefShare, we understand what you’re going through and want to assure you that you’re not alone. The complex emotions you’re experiencing are common, and even to be expected. 

A Loss of a Spouse seminar lasts about two hours. Here’s what to expect:

• Video seminar: You’ll view a 35-minute video with encouraging, practical advice from counselors, pastors, and widowed men and women.
• Sharing time: Then you’ll get to talk with other widowed people about what you learned from the video. (There’s no pressure to share!)
• A guide to bring home: Everyone receives a booklet with more than 30 short readings on how to live with grief and eventually rebuild your life.

It's also a time that you are able to have a one-on-one conversation with an elder or deacon about your salvation. 

There are two parts to the registration.
Step 1: Complete Request Form with includes your contact information.
Step 2: When you submit the form you will be prompted to complete the Attendee Information Section — the information collected is needed to schedule your baptism. After you submit the Attendee Information Form, you will be contacted by Carrie Boyden.
