For nine months of the year, the Sonshine Community gathers for a meal, music, an activity and a special lesson for faith and life. There are also other special opportunities, including annual Vacation Bible School.

Every week, volunteers come into the Sonshine Community to prepare and serve food, help with crafts, support activities, share music, teach lessons and offer encouraging companionship. Won’t you join us?
