Join us for some fun, all ages kids’ play, faith and social connection. On Sundays 8/9 and 8/23 we invite all kids and parents to join in the fellowship hall 9am-9:45 for games, hands-on learning, and a simple faith activity. Next Sunday, 8/9, we’ll have an all ages scavenger hunt. Join us! It's a time to chat, connect, get wiggles out, and have some special faith connections. Talk with Pastor Brett if any questions or if you'd like to help.
As this month's Pub Theology, join us here at church for a movie night, on Wednesday, August 26. From 6ish-7 we'll gather with pizza & drinks (BYO drinks and a few $ for pizza or just you), start the movie at 7pm, with conversation and insights. Dogma(1999) is a comedy that will make you think about God, faith, religion, and more. Featuring Matt Damon and Ben Affleck as fallen angels, Chris Rock as the 13th disciple, and more familiar faces - note it's rated R for language and some brief situations. Talk with Adam O. about this or future Pub Theology gatherings or Pastor Brett to hear why this is one of her irreverently faithful favorites - plan on it and see you there!
