Promotion Sunday & Backback Blessing
We're moving on up! Be sure to come to worship on Sunday, August 24th to get your backback blessed and collect one of 8 beatitude blessings (one for each year until middle school)!

The Nursery (0-2), The Meadow (for PreK & Kindergarten), The Wilds (for elementary ages), The Rapids (for middle schoolers). If your child has turned 2 by September 1, 2025 - they move from the Nursery to the Meadow, woohoo!

Soul Care Sunday
Let's fire up the grill and create space to connect—with each other and with what grounds us. This casual evening is for young adults who are looking to meet new people, share good food, and spend a little time reflecting on what soul care and belonging mean in this season of life. Bring a side, salad, or dessert if you can—and feel free to invite friends. Come as you are, and let’s build something meaningful together.
Encountering Jesus Open House
Have you been curious about our Encountering Jesus Through Mark study that meets on Sunday morning after the service? Our upcoming Open House on June 22 at 11:00 in the Wesley Room is the perfect time to come see what it’s all about.
We’ve been slowly journeying through the Book of Mark with a close reading and lively conversation. Each session stands on its own, so whether you’ve been with us from the beginning or are brand new, you’ll feel welcome. We offer helpful recaps and tools to get you oriented quickly.
After our study, we gather around the table to share a meal and build community and friendship.
If you're longing for deeper connection, meaningful dialogue, and a fresh look at the life of Jesus, we’d love for you to join us.
