One Mission, One Church Family, Many Ways to Connect
Wednesday Night Meals are Back Beginning September 9!

Are you in Chancel Choir? Have a Youth who wants to participate in the Radiate ministry in our community? A child who wants to be part of the musical, Christmas in Reverse? Maybe you would just like to enjoy a delicious meal after a long day at work with a group of friendly faces rather than cook and clean yourself.

Everyone has a story. Share yours with your church family each Wednesday beginning September 9 in the newly renovated Family Life Center/Gym for Midweek Oasis. Dinner will be served from 5:30 to 7, so arrive at the time that best suits your schedule. Take a moment to relax and get to know one another.
