This is the Sports Ministry of

"The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ.  For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body..."  1 Corinthians 12:12

The Cool Spring Recreation Ministry is an outreach to persons of all ages.
We seek to combine the gift of leisure with the companionship of Christ.

• Special Guest Speaker on July 13
  
  Coach Rolando Lamb will be our guest speaker for all 3 worship services on Sunday, July 13.
  
  From his childhood in the inner cities of Virginia ... his All-American high school career ... his VCU Hall of Fame collegiate career with Tubby Smith ... to his eventual draft selection by the Seattle Supersonics ... Rolando Lamb has been an achiever.
  But rather than sitting on the bench the rest of his life, Rolando Lamb is taking the principles of high achievement off the court and into the arena where it counts most, the arena of life.
  
  Audiences across America are laughing and crying with "America's Character Coach" as he leads them in reach their full potential.
  
  Lasting achievement is the natural by-product of character and integrity. Rolando Lamb's unique experiences motivate audiences to attain true character and its lasting rewards.
