Out of the (Toy) Box

Remember the toys you couldn't put down? The ones that went everywhere with you, that you played with until the wheels fell off?

This summer at Breakfast Church, we're pulling them back out of the box, and discovering that the toys we love had an essence of faith tucked inside them all along.

During the summer months, join us in Patton for Breakfast Church starting at 10am for an informal, come-as-you-are service with continental breakfast items. Once again, we’ll sing, pray, eat, discuss, uplift and praise! Breakfast Church for the summer starts on June 21 and goes to September 6. Childcare will be available.

Got broken crayons? Perfect—we want them! This June, we’re collecting your used crayons and giving them a colorful second life. Drop off your stubs, bits, and barely-there favorites—they’ll be transformed for future outreach projects in our middle school program. Because even the smallest pieces can make a big difference!
