CELEBRATION SUNDAYS: MAKE ROOM FOR ONE MORE
October 25th, November 22nd, and December 20th
We're excited to introduce something new to our church family - Celebration Sundays! Once a month, we will come together to celebrate what God is doing in our lives, in our church, and in our community. It will be an opportunity to worship together, celebrate changed lives, and make room for those who may be looking for a place to belong.
Ad we want you to be part of making Celebration Sundays something special.
There is likely someone in your world who doesn't know Jesus, hasn't found a church home, or simply needs a place where they can experience hope and community. They may not walk through the doors on their own - but they might come if someone they know asks them to come.
That someone could be you.
Take a moment to think about the people God has placed in your life. Who could use some encouragement? Who needs hope? Who might be searching for something more? Pray for them, reach out, and make the invitation.
On these Celebration Sundays, we want to make room for one more. Bring a friend. Bring a family member. Bring someone who needs to know that they are loved, valued, and welcomed.
Let's celebrate what God is doing, and let's believe for someone new to experience it with us!
LADIES FALL EVENT
π₯ Bonfire Night - October 23rd π₯
Grab your favorite sweater, bring a friend, and come enjoy a cozy night around the fire! This event is all about relaxing, connecting, laughing, and making memories together.
There's something special about gathering around a fire - good conversation seems to come a little easier, laughter comes a little more freely, and friendships have a chance to grow. Whether you've been part of our church family for years or you're brand new, you're invited! We can't wait to see you around the fire π
- Friday, October 23rd at 6:30 PM
- Meet us in the shelter house
- Bring a chair and/or blanket
