March 10, Sunday Evening @ 7PM: “Say Yes: A Liturgy of Not Giving Up on Yourself” is a show Scott has been performing around the country at churches, colleges, and coffee shops. He’s doing it with us Sunday night 7pm at the Propak Building next door to Fort Smith Coffee Co.! This is the highlight of Scott’s visit as he will encourage us think about how to deal with life’s defeats through the lens of faith with the help of art, song, film, and storytelling. Please come! This is meant to be a fun, funky night out on the town. And our attempt to be a little more engaging with younger adults. Get dinner beforehand. Bring a friend. I will promise you will not be disappointed. Scott is very creative and engaging! Don’t miss it! Share on social media!
