This week’s worship.
The Polar Express – TODAY
We hope MANY of you are planning to join us this afternoon for our Annual Polar Express Event!! Setup begins at 3pm (although some setup will take place immediately following worship). Doors open to the community at 4pm. The movie starts at 5pm. Remember: this is SO MUCH MORE than just a fun event! It is an important expression of our vision as a church — a chance for us to love and serve the community around us and bring people together in an increasingly divided world. Join us!!
Meals for the Schultes!
Mark and Mick welcomed their twin boys into the world this week — Carter and Beckett. Needless to say, their lives have suddenly become MUCH BUSIER!! Whenever a family in our midst welcomes home a new baby (or babies), we aim to rally around them with love in the form of meals. Sign up here. (PS: if you’ve never met the Schultes before, don’t let that stop you from! Offering a meal would be a GREAT way to introduce yourself!)
