NIGHT OF WORSHIP

We believe worshipping God is a big deal. We’re going to celebrate by having a Night of Worship on September 28th at 6:30 p.m. at our South campus. Come ready to worship the Lord. We believe there’s great value in our kids watching how we worship so we encourage you to bring your kids as there will not be childcare offered. The gathering will not be streamed so try to make it in person.

TAILGATING

Are you looking to meet new people? Come to our connection event from 5 to 6:15 p.m. ahead of our Night of Worship at our South campus. We’ll have an incredible night of making connections as well as some tailgate food. For children 8 and under, we will provide childcare if pre-arranged (You only need to register if you need childcare). Come for the opportunity to make new friends.

SENIOR ADULT DINNER

Seniors, bring your friends and join us as we host our senior adult carry-in dinner on September 25th at 6 p.m. at the South campus. Our last dinner for this year will be on October 24th with our ham and beans dinner. It’s a great time of connection, fellowship, and excellent food! There’s no cost. We’ll provide the meat. All you need to bring is your favorite side dish. Contact Pastor Dave Welsh for more information at 765-453-4626.
