Chapel Pointe Family Ministries is planning a Winter Flash Mob and Community Outreach Event!  This event will take place at the Georgetown Soccer Bowl at a date to be determined.  Following the Winter Flash Mob, participants will hand out refreshments to those from the community who are enjoying the park.  The rehearsal for the Winter Flash Mob will take place immediately following the 2nd Service on Sunday, January 15.  At the rehearsal, the Family Ministries Team will provide all the details regarding this event.

 

We are hosting our 3rd Annual Roller Skating Party and Chili Cook-Off on Sunday, January 29!  Please join us from 6:00-8:00 p.m. at Tarry Hall Roller Skating Rink in Grandville.  The cost is $4.00 per skater.  Skate rental is included in the cost; there is an addition $2.00 charge for rollerblades.  If you are interested in competing in the chili cook-off, please sign up on the Bulletin Board.  Prizes will be awarded to the top 2 chilies!

 

On Saturday, February 11, Chapel Pointe is hosting a Swap Meet.  The theme of the meet is hunting and fishing, but is open to all sporting goods in general.  Items sold should be good, new or used, gear that you no longer need or use.  No guns or ammo will be allowed on the premises.  There will be coffee, baked goods, and lunch available for purchase.  Proceeds from the refreshments will benefit ministries at Chapel Pointe.
