Life Together 2026
Life Together is a church-wide gathering on September 19 for our church family to simply be together.
We’ll gather for fellowship, food, activities, and an evening of outdoor worship as we celebrate what it means to be one unified church body. Everyone is invited to bring a picnic lunch, and enjoy games and activities for kids and adults. Dinner will be provided, and childcare will be available during the evening worship service for children nursery through 1st grade. Please register everyone attending so we can plan for dinner and prepare our childcare classes.
