🎯 KIDS NERF WAR! 💥 Join us for an epic night of foam-flinging fun!

📅 Date: Saturday, June 28 🕕 Time: 6:00–7:30 PM 📍 Location: FLC (Family Life Center) 🍴 Supper Provided!

Bring your own Nerf blaster and ammo! Get ready for friendly competition, high-energy games, and lots of laughs. From dart battles to dinner—this is one evening you won't want to miss!

📲 RSVP: Text Clay at 704-472-2731 to sign up.

Patterson Grove Baptist Church in Kings Mountain, NC, is proud to host exciting community events like this Kids Nerf War—designed to bring families together for laughter, connection, and safe fun. Whether you're in Gastonia, just down the road in Shelby, or nearby in Bessemer City, Cherryville, or Grover, you're invited to join us! We welcome children and families from all across Cleveland and Gaston Counties who are looking for a place to connect and make memories.

Our Family Life Center is a popular gathering space in Kings Mountain, serving as a hub for creative programming and youth activities. If you're searching for kids events near Shelby, NC or family-friendly nights in Gastonia, this Nerf War is the perfect opportunity to plug in and have some fun!

Don’t miss this action-packed evening with friends from across the area—we can’t wait to see you there!

Note to Parents: On Monday nights all summer our kids are gathering to play sports, study the Lord’s prayer, and have a lot of fun along the way. We invite your elementary aged child to not only come to the Nerf War but also any other Monday night that you are able to make it.

We invite you to Homecoming Sunday on June 8, 2025. Homecoming is a Sunday where we do a few things that are different from a normal Sunday:

- We remember those that we’ve lost during the last year who have gone to their true home to be with the Lord in Heaven. As much as we live in a home and love the city of Kings Mountain, as believers in Jesus, this is not our home. Our home is with Jesus in Heaven and one day we will all join those who have already passed.

- We welcome back to Patterson Grove those that grew up in the church and have moved away. Many people have children that now live in Gastonia, Cherryville, Charlotte, Shelby, or other cities and this Sunday is a chance for us to welcome them back.

- We enjoy a covered dish lunch after the service in the Family Life Center (ie the gym). Each family is asked to bring enough food for their family plus a little extra to bless another family. There is no cost and those who aren’t able or forget to bring food are 100% welcome to join us. If you are a first time guest, we have no expectation of you to bring anything. We are just glad you are here.

See you Sunday!

(Deadline to sign-up for on-site classes for this program is June 4! There is no deadline to join in with the challenge on Facebook or Instagram.)

Your body is a temple—a sacred space where the Holy Spirit dwells. As 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (NIV) reminds us: "Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies."

Parents, are you looking for a way to keep your kids engaged in faith-filled fun all summer? We invite your children to be part of Monday Meet-Ups…a Summer 2025 Kid’s Weekly Discipleship Plan—an exciting and safe opportunity for kids to grow in their relationship with Christ while making new friends and enjoying active play!

Faith, Fun, and Fellowship

Throughout the summer, we will meet Monday evenings from 6:00 to 7:30 PM in the Family Life Center (FLC). With 12 weeks of connection and discipleship (excluding June 16 due to VBS), this program is designed to strengthen relationships with current students and welcome new children into an uplifting community.

Engaging Bible Lessons

Each gathering will begin with an interactive Bible study, focused on “Kid’s Travel Guide to the Lord’s Prayer”—an engaging curriculum designed to help children understand and practice prayer as a spiritual discipline. These age-appropriate lessons will provide a strong foundation for faith while making Scripture accessible and meaningful for young hearts.

Active & Fun Play

After our lesson, kids will enjoy structured recreation time, including indoor and outdoor games for all energy levels! Whether your child loves sports, group activities, or quieter games like cards and brain challenges, there’s something for everyone. Through fun and teamwork, students will build friendships and confidence in a safe and nurturing environment.
