Dessert and Coffee with the Pastors & Open Mic Friday Night — Nov. 13th at 7pm
Join us this Friday evening, November 13, at 7pm, for dessert and coffee (and other beverages) as we celebrate the conclusion of our church-wide study and message series, “A Disciple’s Path.” We had a great turn out at the opening celebration, and if you attended that, we’d love for you to invite a friend this time!
If you didn’t sign up, please come any way!
Open Mic!
During our time together we will have an “open-mic” time of testimony sharing regarding your experiences through small groups and diving deeper into what it means to follow the disciple’s path through our prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness. We will also share information about our upcoming Advent message series and group experience entitled, “Under Wraps: The Gift We Never Expected.”
