Midweek is TOMORROW + Supper Enhancements

  • Adult meals will be served from both serving windows
  • Kids (12 and under only) will pick up their supper - including dessert - from a NEW Kids Station in the Worship Center
  • Supper beverages include Iced Tea, Lemonade and Water
  • For clarification: the $20 max per family meal pricing only includes family members living in the same home; extended family members and guests will need to purchase a separate $5 meal ticket
