The school year is closing in so its time say goodbye to the summer with one last party!

Join us on Wednesday July 23rd for a family night here at Joy. 6-8pm

Burgers and dogs for dinner,
Bring your best homemade ice cream and churns,
We’ll have a water slide and bounce house for the kids
(parents please plan to help keep an eye on your little ones while they’re on the jumpers),

And new for this year… drumroll….

A great game of JOY FAMILY FEUD!
Grab your team and compete in a hilarious family feud style game hosted in the Fellowship Hall.

Invite a family you know and we’ll see you there!

Foster children face trauma surrounding the events of entering and living in state care. These traumas carry on into adulthood and create negative life outcomes.

You’ve likely had interactions with foster children or others carrying trauma. FACE OT will help you become better informed and will equip you to support more positive life outcomes.

Classes happen Mondays and Thursdays, 7-8pm, through July at Joy. Two opportunities to learn the weekly content.

July 3,7,10,14,17

A note from Josh Carpenter at Joy: Are these classes for you even if you’re not considering becoming a foster parent? Yes!

As believers, we are God’s partners in his great rescue plan of bringing His peace and kingdom to a world in chaos; we do this through our interactions with people.

If we can better understand WHY a person is living in chaos, we can better interact with them, sharing the gospel becomes more effective, and we become a peace bringer in their lives.
