Fun at the Ministry Fair

Our second annual ministry fair was a huge success!

Thanks to all who helped prepare their booths and the food. The cotton candy was a hit, Steve!

There may be some who wonder what all the hoopla is all about. At The Grove we believe that getting in the game is what being a Christ follower looks like. But not just performing tasks and playing a role within the church, it's best said by John Wesley who was an incredible servant of God. His motto was: "Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as you ever can."

Those who took the time to play our questionnaire game (and possibly win a gift card) learned more about our Kids @ The Grove ministry, our worship team, our media team, our life-growth groups, our hospitality team, and then found out about many opportunities yet to be implemented. We hope you enjoyed hearing the passion and commitment on the part of our team members - it's truly a blessing to have so many capable people serving at The Grove.

It was especially great to see parents taking their children around to participate in the fun.

If you haven't been in a while, you would find that The Grove is growing rapidly. We have first time guests every week and many are deciding to stick around and get to know us. We have many exciting plans for the spring and summer months to reach out beyond our walls and encourage the community to "Become part of the song" that is The Grove.

Hope you will join us - enjoy some of the pictures from the fair!

The Media Fair gave average Grovers some insight into the spirit as well as the number of people it takes to create the worship experience we share on any given Sunday. Thanks for showcasing many of the ministries that usually remain hidden. Certainly there is a place for everyone to get plugged in!
