A MESSAGE FROM REV. BETH DANA
August is a time of transition and new beginnings for many. Families send their kids back to school, or off to college for the first time. People visit our church in even greater numbers, seeking a spiritual home. We prepare to start a new “church year” in September.
I’m looking forward to my own new beginning. At the time of writing, I’m awaiting the birth of twins. By the time you read this, my wife and I may be parents, adjusting to a whole new reality and caring for these tender little lives!

CONNECT & BE PART OF OUR CHURCH'S FUTURE
Throughout the month of August, our Love First Campaign will be hosting several House Parties in Members' homes where you can connect with other congregants, learn more about the Love First vision for our church’s future, and join us in building community. If you haven’t yet had a chance to have a conversation about the Love First campaign, this is a great opportunity in a group setting to get informed and get involved!
