Family Resources

During this time of social distancing, we want to encourage you and your family with some online resources! Below you can find links to church websites, speakers, times of worship, children’s videos and activities to keep your kids busy. We’ll try to keep adding to this page as the weeks go on!

** Please note that we do not own these resources and we have not been paid to share them. We simply want to encourage your family, and connect you to a few of the things these churches and organizations are doing!

Online Church Services

Many churches are turning to social media platforms to gather together online. Here are links to some of our local churches who are posting live stream or pre-recorded videos in place of weekly gatherings!

We have really appreciated the raw teachings Micah has shared with us the past two summers at Sr Camp. We want to share some of his 2019 night sessions with you. If you were at camp last summer, these recordings will bring you right back to your seat in the Dining Hall, and what you were working through – remember those commitments you made. Some of you will be hearing them for the first time, and we hope that they can bring truth to you today.
