This event, sponsored by First Christian Church, is an avenue used to shine the light, hope and love of Jesus into a neighborhood. It’s important that this program is in the neighborhood, not here in our building. Kidzone in the Park is a wonderful way to spend four summer nights showing our community that Jesus cares for them, serving alongside family and other FCC members, and having fun, too. See ya in the 'zone!

Event setup starts at 5:30pm
Dinner is served at 6:15pm
Games & activities begin at 6:45pm
Program starts at 7:30pm
Event cleanup begins at 8pm
We are out of the park no later than 8:30pm.

First Church of the Nazarene
1177 W. Hickory Point Road - Decatur

Joe Ehrmann, a 13-year NFL veteran, a nationally renowned speaker, minister, and winning high school coach who coaches in a radically different way based not on a tough-guy ideal but on a helping young men define and live out what true manhood really is.  He has been featured on ESPN, and Parade Magazine called him *"the most important coach in America"*.    

Seating is limited to what our sanctuary can hold, and we've heard some coaches are bringing their teams, so register now at http://tiny.cc/yn0y7   Coach Ehrmann's message is amazing and one you won't want to miss it!

This event, sponsored by New Life Pregnancy Center is for girls entering 7th grade - 2010 high school graduates.

The retreat’s primary purpose is to give girls practical tools to live a lifestyle of purity, with the primary focus being to fall head over heels in love with Jesus! As a parent you may be wondering how the retreat deals with the topic of sex. Honestly, we discuss far more of the heart issues than the specifics of human sexuality. We will discuss the truth of sexuality using a strong pro-abstinence view.
