Sunday Service: August 10th at 10:00 AM
Hello Darkness My Old Friend
with Nate Hitchcock
Darkness is a place most every human has visited at least a time or two. ย And if you’re like me, you may have visited many, many times, and sometimes perhaps stayed for quite a spell. ย This Sunday August 10, 2025 we’re going to take a look at this darkness, the many forms that it can take, how to find our way out of it when we find ourselves there, and most importantly, the hidden gifts that it has to offer us.
๐ฝ๏ธ Bring a favorite snack to share with the community after service! Weโll provide the coffee and tea โ๏ธ.
We always have a beautiful potluck of munchies to enjoy after service, so we hope you have time to stay, connect, and enjoy some coffee and snacks.
๐ Childcare and activities are available for children 0 through 12 years.
This monthโs topic is HEALTH!
โญ๏ธ Note to parents – Summer is here, so be sure your kiddos bring a water bottle filled with something cool to drink.
