Moved to the fall! While all the pieces are together for a great day, we have discovered that June 26 does not seem to be the best date for our church family. Because the goal and our desire is for this to be for our whole church family with as many of us as possible able to participate, we are rescheduling the retreat for September. We will communicate the new date once it is confirmed and throughout the summer we will share more details of what we will experience!

We look forward to the retreat and experiencing our God of all creation together in the fall!

We are so thankful for a full week of in-person Summer XP at Miller Elementary last week! All week long we had kids singing songs, playing games, making new friends, and learning about God’s great love for them. Thank you to our incredible team of volunteers who served in every way, from dinners, to classrooms, to large group, to registration. By Wednesday night, we had 46 kids participating, and we added a few more as we wrapped up the week. On Friday night the kids sang our Summer XP songs loud enough for the whole neighborhood to hear! By the end of the week we were also serving over 80 dinners each night to Summer XP families and volunteers. We know this is a start toward rebuilding a program that was on hold for a pandemic, and we look forward to growing and expanding this ministry throughout the year and into next summer. Pray with us that each and every child who joined us will continue to grow in their love and knowledge of God!
