Sunday’s Agape meal was a lovely reminder of how much happens around a table when love is the host: good food, meaningful conversation, and time to enjoy being together. Thank you to everyone who brought food and helped make it such a warm evening. Sharing a meal is one of the simplest ways we practice being a community and it’s worth making time for.

Next up: our Senior High Fall Retreat this weekend! I’m looking forward to time away to laugh, rest, deepen friendships, and make space for faith beyond our usual routines.

With Thanksgiving approaching and Advent just around the corner, there’s more ahead to share, celebrate, and prepare for. Take a look below for what’s coming up and where you can jump in. I’m grateful for each of you and the life you bring to this community!

Help Us Show Up for Our Youth! Share Important Dates With Us
As part of this faith family, we want to celebrate the many places our youth are growing, creating, competing, and showing up. Parents, send us the dates for games, meets, performances, concerts, plays, and other activities your youth are part of this year. We’d love for youth advisors and fellow youth to show up, cheer them on, and strengthen the connections that weave our community together beyond Sunday nights too. Share your dates with us so we can add them to our youth calendar!
