At The Vine it is our passion to see our community grow closer to God and to each other. 
​We love to do community service projects and to provide community outreach events where we can make a difference in people’s lives.  
Here are a few things going on right now and coming up soon at The Vine!

Post Falls Food Bank

​On June 22nd, we helped the Post Falls Food Bank with their warehouse re-organization.  We cleaned floors, mopped freezers, painted benches, counted food boxes, and re-organized their warehouse.  It was a wonderful way for us to serve our community and be a blessed to the Food Bank. 

Special Need VBS

Picture
In June we did a one-day Vacation Bible School for families with special needs.  This was something that we had never tried before.  But we wanted to be a blessing to families who care for children or other adults with special needs, and it seemed like a VBS would be a wonderful way to serve them.  A mission team from Wisconsin came to Coeur d'Alene to help us put on this camp.  God blessed it.  

Past Events

Community Service Projects

We had the pleasure of having a film crew from the WELS Connection Production crew follow us around as we completed four different community service projects: a food drive, delivering baked treats to first responders, a free battery giveaway to celebrate the time change on Sunday, and visiting nursing home residents.  #GrowingTogether

"Gal-entines" by Candlelight

Our "Galentines by Candlelight" event for the women of our community was held on February 9th.  It was a special afternoon of celebrating God's love for us in Jesus.  Everyone had a great time.
​


Soccer Camp

We hosted a soccer camp at at Broadmoore Park in Hayden.  The kids who attended had a great time not only learning soccer skills from our coaches, but also learning how God gives us victory in our life through Jesus.  The event ended with the kids singing their camp song for their parents, an awards ceremony, bounce houses, and a picnic to celebrate the week.

Science for Kids

Science Camp was a blast. What a fun way to learn about God's incredible ocean creations!

Easter for Kids

The Vine hosted an Easter for Kids event for the children of our community. 
​91 kids attended and had a great time.  Afterwards, we had an egg hunt for the children, and it was a big hit. 
​They all went home with a pretty good stash of candy.  

​​Christmas for Kids

​Christmas Parade of Lights 
 We held a “Christmas for Kids” event for children in our community.  It was a fun-filled day of Christmas activities, crafts, songs, creative learning activities, cookie decorating, Christmas video, the Christmas story, and a special birthday party for Jesus!  Everyone had a great time learning the true meaning of Christmas. ​
The Vine entered a float in the Christmas Parade of Lights in downtown Coeur d’Alene.  We saw many of our friends and neighbors there – over 30,000 people attended.  Thank you for cheering us on as we shared the joy of Jesus’ birth with our city.  We already can’t wait until next year’s parade! 

Trunk or Treat

On October 31st, The Vine hosted our second annual “Trunk or Treat” for the children of our community.  We filled a bunch of our vehicle trunks full of candy, and then opened them to the children in the neighborhood.  Hundreds of children came and had a great time!

Launch Sunday

​On October 1st we had our “Launch Sunday” when we officially started weekly worship services.  We had 124 people attend the service.  Following the service a free catered lunch by Drummin Up BBQ was served to everyone in attendance so that we could continue the celebration and get to know one another better.  Free vine plants were given to each person who attended with a note card that read “Remember to keep growing!” and the Bible verse “I am the Vine, you are the branches” (John 15:5).

​End of Summer Fun Fest

4th of July Parade​
​Thanks for an amazing End-of-Summer Fun Fest at Landings Park.  A total of over 300 people from our community showed up to celebrate the start of our church in Coeur d’Alene.  If you weren’t able to make it, check out photos of the event on our Facebook page:

​We entered a float in the Coeur d’Alene 4th of July parade and had a great time meeting the community along the parade route.  Did you see us there?  We were the ones having the most fun. 

Saturday Bible Camp

 The Vine held a FREE, fun-filled “Saturday Bible Camp” at Landings Park in Coeur d’Alene.  Thirty-two kids attended and had a great time learning how to be “God’s heroes” by doing amazing experiments, crazy games, enjoying lip-smacking snacks, hands-on Bible adventures, and fun music.

St. Patrick's Day Parade

Free Donut Giveaway
On The Vine entered a float in the St Patrick’s Day parade in downtown Coeur d’Alene.  Thank you to everyone who came out to cheer us on along the parade route!
In February the Vine did a “Free Donut Giveaway” at Super 1 Foods as a random act of kindness for the community.  We gave away 200 free donuts to shoppers in the store parking lot and met a lot of new friends and neighbors in the process.  It brought smiles to a lot of faces.
