As you are planning your summer, it may be helpful to know that we will not have church services on Sunday July 23, 30th, Aug. 6th, 13th. We’ll take these as Sabbath days, while we are gathering mid-week for our Wild Church series.
NEW: We will be experimenting this summer with an adventure called Wild Church! We will have 5 Wednesdays evenings together at William’s Park, you can bring your own picnic if you would like. Wild Church will start at 6pm and wrap up between 7:30-8pm. July 19, 26, Aug. 2,9,16. Besides a great time of fellowship, kid’s nature themed crafts will be available. Our time will also flow through 4 sections: Gathering and Grounding; Readings & Reflections; Wandering & Wondering; Sharing & Sending. This includes time to walk or sit in the forest, paying attention to how God is showing up for you today in this place and then time to share together in a full circle or in small groups.

“Ready, Set, Move!” for Preschool. This month theme, we’re talking about the best friend ever with our preschoolers. We want every preschooler to know that not only is Jesus the best friend ever, but Jesus wants to be THEIR friend . . . forever! We want our preschoolers to hear over and over that Jesus wants to be their friend forever. And not only does Jesus want to be their friend, but Jesus is a friend worth following. That way, when the time comes, our preschoolers will be ready to follow Jesus here, there, and everywhere! on helping others, just like Jesus! “We have the Lord God to help us” 2 Chronicles 32:8
