This Week At Fruit Cove

Check back here often to find out what’s happening this week, next week, and into the future at Fruit Cove! 

Replanted Conference

Join us THIS WEEK for the Replanted Conference from May 2nd through 4th, 2024! A unique event presented by Fostering Hope in partnership with The Cove focused on giving YOU, the fostering and adoptive parents, the support, resources, and affirmations you need. Explore the nitty-gritty of foster care, adoption, parenting, marriage, grief, and much more. With our amazing local professionals at the helm, you’re sure to feel energized and empowered. Let’s be FOR every child, parent, and family in this beautiful, challenging journey.

Host Homes Needed

Our church has the unique opportunity to host a Bible College student from our mission partner, Life Romania, this summer. He will be completing an internship program working primarily with our Family Ministries Team from May 7th through August 14th.

We are looking for members interested in hosting him in your home for part of the summer (preferably at least a week). The church will provide him with a vehicle to get around the area, so transportation is not a requirement.

If you have an interest in hosting this student or another student at some point in the future, please contact Jason Hodges (jhodges@fruitcove.com) and provide your name and contact information. We will reach out to answer any questions and determine if/when you would be willing to commit to hosting this summer.

Men’s Double-Header Weekend

Men, it’s time to start stretching out those pitching arms! Join us for an epic Men’s Double Header weekend on May 31st – June 1st. It all kicks off with a baseball-themed MAN CHURCH on Friday, with ballpark dogs, games, and fellowship starting at 6PM, followed by a very special time of music and praise led by worship leader Todd Fields.

The doubleheader wraps up with a MENS BREAKFAST the next morning at 9AM. Both events are free, and baseball attire is encouraged. This is the perfect event to invite your neighbor and friend to. Don’t strike out and miss this special weekend!
