Volunteering
The participation of parents/guardians is critical to the success of onCore. We require at least one adult from each family participating in onCore to volunteer with the program. This not only provides the necessary staffing, but it also demonstrates the parents’ belief in the importance of Christian nurture.
One parent or guardian must remain on campus at all times while their child or children are participating in the onCore program, even if the parent's volunteer shift has already been completed earlier in the evening.
Childcare
Childcare is available for younger siblings under the age of 3 from 5:00-6:45 pm while the parent volunteers, and 3-year olds from 6:00-6:45 pm.

Living the Fourth Quarter - with Spirit
Sundays, September 7 until October 26
9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.
Alderman Hall
“Living the Fourth Quarter – with Spirit” is designed to help you reflect on your life, navigate the mixed emotions of entering (or being in) the Fourth Quarter, and embrace this phase with intentionality, purpose, and spirit by pursuing long-held dreams at last. This course goes beyond abstract ideas by providing tools for self-reflection and decision-making. It blends philosophy and practicality, balancing introspection with actionable steps to transition from full-time employment to the greater freedom of retirement. The course is not about regret or fear of aging, but instead emphasizing potential for growth and enjoyment in your latter years
We will use “The Fourth Quarter of Your Life…embracing what matters most” By Allen Hunt & Matthew Kelly available from Amazon and other retailers.
Also recommended: “No Regrets… A fable about living your fourth quarter intentionally” by the same authors.
You can purchase your book on Amazon using the link below. If you need help ordering your book, contact Teri Kish at teri@roswellpres.org.

Children ages 4 (by June 1, 2026) through 5th grade are invited to join us for a wonderful week of Vacation Bible School.
Step through the mist into Rainforest Falls, overflowing with wild waterfalls, towering trees, and colorful creatures. Beneath a canopy of chattering birds and howling monkeys, kids plunge into a lifelong adventure of discovering the nature of God. They’ll explore what it means to be rooted in relationship with God, their creator, a safe place in life’s storms.
Children will learn Bible stories, and participate in fun recreational games, music, and crafts. This event is free!
We also need amazing volunteers (rising 6th grade through adult) to help make the week a success!
Look for more registration info in early 2026.
