As parents, it can often seem like our world is a snow globe, swirling with hundreds of activities, appointments, and schedules. It can be difficult to go beyond the boundaries of your own family with all of its wants, demands, and eccentricities and connect with others or even connect with God. Sunday Family Fun Day is a group designed for families with small(ish) children to gather, share parenting and relational tips, and connect using sermon-based discussion questions (no required reading!). We also will have a snack potluck each week (sweet and savory).

Friday
Join us as we fast & pray as a faith community ONE time a month together. Fasting traditionally is to abstain from food and give that time and pangs of hunger to the attention of Jesus and His Kingdom in prayer. Seeking His way and will in our lives, community, mission, ministry, jobs, resources, etc. The list is endless, yet First Friday Fasting & Prayer is singular in focus too. “Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness…” | Mathew 6:33
