Baptism Class

Sunday, September 24

Baptism Class

Time: 9:30am – 10:30am

At Venture, we believe baptism is very important, whatever your age! That's why we're offering classes for kids, students, and adults to look at what the Bible says about baptism and to discuss questions you may have.

Everyone will begin by meeting in the Student Center, and will then break out into groups by age.

  1. Adult Class will be led by Discipleship Pastor Jake Harp

  2. Student Class will be led by Student Pastor Jake Smith

  3. Kids Class will by led by Children's Pastor Joy Fehl

Parent participation is suggested for kids and students' classes.

Have questions? Feel free to contact any of our staff pastors.

All About That Baby: Preview Meeting

Sunday, September 24

All About That Baby: Preview Meeting

Leader: Joy Fehl |

Time: 12:15pm – 1pm

Venture Kids Christmas Program is returning on December 10th! We invite all children in Kindergarten-6th grade to join our cast in "All About That Baby" to help tell the musical tale of the classic nativity story with a twist from the perspective of the shepherds and sheep. All children who are interested may come and join us for a Preview Day on September 24th in the 1:4 Room. This will be immediately after church from 12:15-1:00p. A light lunch will be provided for the children. We will watch a production of the show and hand out more information on rehearsals, optional auditions, and the performance evening itself. We have a place in the program for everyone! This will be a memory making moment for your child and your family this Christmas season.

 

What does a commitment look like?  Most rehearsals will be on Sunday afternoons from 4:30-6p with a dress rehearsal on Saturday, December 9th at 2p. We ask that all students who are in the show try to be at as many rehearsals as possible; however, we do not want this to keep a child from participating if they would like to. Please reach out to Joy Fehl if you have any questions on rehearsal commitments. 

 

What about my little ones? 2 to 5-year-olds (not in Kindergarten) will have an opportunity to participate in the program, as well! They will be learning songs on Sunday mornings to help open our Christmas program with ultimate cuteness! They will have the opportunity to attend one or two practices with the rest of the cast including the dress rehearsal. They do not need to attend Preview Night. We will make sure parents have access to the songs they will be learning, and we ask that you practice at home as you can. 

 

Our Venture Kids Christmas Program Directors are Tony Johnson, Kristin Cropper, Jenny Handshoe, Carla Allgeier, and Joy Fehl. We are filled with Christmas giddiness as we prepare, and we hope to see you on September 24th.

Nerf & Nachos

Sunday, September 24

Nerf & Nachos

Leader: Joy Fehl |

Time: 6pm – 8pm

On Sunday, September 24th at 6p, we invite all 1st-6th grade boys and their fathers/guardians to Nerf & Nachos!  There will be lots of different activities, including a warm-up zone, target practice, various battle-style games, and loaded nachos for dinner! No need to bring darts...we’ve got a huge supply. Bring your Nerf gun (make sure your name is on it!) and come prepared to have fun! After the event, we will give each adult a guided conversation guide to walk through a family discussion on personal faith. We ask that you only bring standard Nerf dart guns only. We will supply the nachos and protective eyewear for each child. Adults, if you have protective eyewear, please consider bringing it! Please register your family no later than September 20th so we can prepare enough to feed everyone.

All kids MUST be accompanied by an adult.

Worship on the Lawn

Sunday, October 8

Worship on the Lawn

Time: 10am – 11am

Venture Christian Church - South Lawn: 14501 Hazel Dell Parkway, Carmel, IN US 46033

Worship on the Lawn is back! Mark your calendar for our next outdoor worship service on October 8! Make plans to grab your lawn chair or blanket and join together for one big outdoor worship service.

On this Sunday, there will be only one in-person service at 10am. The nursery for babies aged 0-24 months will be available inside the building, while kids aged 2 years and above will join their parents on the lawn.

Worship on the Lawn FAQs

When & where?
Worship on the Lawn will begin at 10a on Sunday, October 8 on the south side of our campus at 14501 Hazel Dell Parkway in Carmel.

What time should I arrive?
While service begins at 10a, we encourage you to arrive around 9:30. This allows you time to set up your lawn chairs or blanket on the south lawn and to get settled in before service starts!

Where should I park?

1. Park in the main lot if you're able, and then walk through doors 1, 2, or 3 to access the south lawn.
2. If you have a disability or are a senior, we will have plenty of parking on the west side of the building. Notify the parking lot attendant as you enter that you'd like to be placed in the west lot.
3. If you plan on attending the service in your vehicle (limited space), notify the parking attendant, and you'll be directed to the gravel (mobile) lot. You'll be able to listen to the service via your FM radio.

Where will I sit?
You'll need to bring your lawn chairs or a blanket to sit on. It's a big lawn, so there's lots of room to spread out.

What about the Venture App?
Download the Venture app for access to song lyrics and food truck menus. Text “Venture App” to 77977 for a direct download link or click to download from the Apple App Store or Google Play.

What should I wear?
It's outside, in the fall. Please, wear what's comfortable!

What about my kids?
The nursery for babies aged 0-24 months will be available inside the building, while kids aged 2 years and above will join their parents on the lawn.

What About the Weather?
The forecast looks clear, but in case of rain, we'll move inside.
