A way to bless others: This year, we're partnering with St. Paulie's Textiles to help families recovering from natural disasters. Bring gently used clothing, shoes, bedding, or stuffed animals to drop off at the festival. It's a simple way to bless someone who is starting over.

Invite your friends, tag a neighbor, and come make some sweet memories with us!

CANDY NEEDED — FALL FESTIVAL, OCT 25!

We're expecting 400–500 guests and need LOTS of candy to make it sweet for everyone. Help us stock up two ways:

-Shop our Amazon Wishlist (ships right to the church)
-Or drop store-bought candy in the atrium bin

Every piece helps — thank you for making Fall Festival a treat! 🎃

Join us on Saturday, November 7th at 8:30am in the kitchen/dining area of church as we continue our study of Unoffendable.

Hope we see you there!

No matter how long you’ve been at Swiss Cove—one day or thirty years—Growth Track is for you. This three-step journey is designed to help you discover your purpose and how to live it out in a way that makes a difference. In Step One, you’ll learn what we believe, how we’re structured, and how to become a member of the Cove. Step Two helps you discover your unique personality and spiritual gifts through assessments that reveal how God designed you. In Step Three, you'll explore all the ways you can use your gifts to serve and lead, both inside and outside the church. Please make sure to take all three classes in order—each step builds on the one before it.

Wednesday nights are always worth showing up for. Our incredible kitchen team puts their hearts into preparing a hot, home-style meal every Wednesday evening — and all you have to do is show up hungry. Whether you're catching up with old friends, making new ones, or simply enjoying a night off from cooking, Wednesday Night Dinners are one of our favorite ways to do life together.

Meals are $7 per person or $25 for a family of four, and you can check out the upcoming menu on our website or by clicking below. We'd love to share a meal with you!

Ladies Bible Study: Breathe – Making Room for Sabbath

Join us this fall for a 5-week study through Breathe: Making Room for Sabbath by Priscilla Shirer. This study explores Sabbath as a gift God gave His people — and one He still offers us today. If you're feeling weary, worn out, or exhausted, this study is an invitation to rest.

When: Wednesdays, 9:30–11:30 AM, starting September 9
Where: Swiss Cove Christian Church

Each week includes group discussion and a short teaching video (about 20–30 minutes), along with personal study to do at home between sessions.

Books are available on Amazon or at Lifeway — please pick up your copy before our first session so you're ready to dive in!

We'd love to have you join us as we make room to breathe together.

Laptops for DR Students" will give our supporters another way to participate in our ministry, help college bound Dominican students, and get a little tax break. If you have replaced your laptop and it’s sitting in a corner unused, or are going to replace it, consider donating your old/functioning laptop to Pr 22:6 Resource Ministry.

“Laptops for DR Students” will give your older/functioning laptop a new home where it will have a new lease on life serving a DR student. One of the great needs for DR students entering college is a laptop computer. We have had a few laptop donations in the past, that have been such a blessing to the recipients and believe it’s time to “go public” with this, so to speak.

Please identify yourself and provide an address (email or street address) when dropping off or shipping so we can provide you with an “in kind” donation receipt for tax purposes (you will assign the value of your machine).

Make sure to “wipe clean” and “reset” your laptop to remove all your information and reset the machine to factory default settings. There are several YouTube videos on how to do this.

By the way, we'll also take older cell phones (wiped clean of course and reset to factory defaults) to give away in the DR. My old iphone 5s was rendered obsolete without service (3G service in the US ended); but still works in the DR.

Please drop off your donations in the bin in the Atrium with your contact information attached.
