love which was exhibited to all of us through His life and teachings by way of our
Sunday School program.

Link and making Moments for Ministry during the Sunday services as needed.
- To report to Session at their monthly meetings our current and future projects.

YOUTH DISNEY WORLD TRIP
The Youth Group at Fort King traveled to the Animal Kingdom at Disney World on Saturday, April 27, 2024.
The ten youth and the 6 chaperons had a great time enjoying the rides, shows, and wonderful Christian Fellowship.
Since this was the week of Earth Day, the Disney World activities emphasized the importance of taking care of our planet, especially the variety of living things that God has created for us.
This was all possible thanks to the wonderful support of the youth fundraisers by the congregation that allowed them to raise more than $1100 for this event.
SCOUTING AT FORT KING CHURCH
Fort King Church is blessed to sponsor a Cub Pack, Boy Scout Troop, and a Sea Scout organization. We are also sponsoring a girl troop associated with the Boy Scout troop.
They have been instrumental in helping the church by participating in our VBS program, renovating our playground, helping with our Earth Care programs, recycling Aluminum cans, helping with the White Elephant Sale, and many other activities that have been so beneficial to Fort King Church.
HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE RECOGNITION
Our high school graduates will be recognized for this important achievement at our May 19th, 2024 worship service.
