We are excited to announce that we will be taking a church-wide rest for two weeks in August!
We will be closed the 10th-23rd, not only for Sunday services, but also for mid-week activities such as intercession.

We value rest and strengthening family connection - it is part of our mission, one of core values. You see it all throughout scripture: the Lord tells us to prioritize rest. Instead of one person taking a vacation, we wanted to take 2 weeks where the church and all the happenings here has rest.

But there is a difference between disconnecting and checking out, versus rest that restores. We have devices and activities that are great at keeping our minds busy and our attention occupied, but our spirits disengaged.

We want to challenge you to be intentional with this time of rest. How are you going to connect with your spouse, your family, your community? It's not about having every minute planned, but about being intentional to rest and invest in relationships, that really brings good fruit.

"He also said, 'This is what the kingdom of God is like. A man scatters seed on the ground. Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how.' "
— Mark 4:26-27

Jesus gives us a wonderful picture in this sower who planted seed, goes to bed, and the seed still grows while he sleeps. That's the kingdom! We get to rest in the fact that even while we're not gathering together, God is still powerfully at work in growing things. And we get time as a staff and a community to reset and refresh in His presence.

Enjoy the Lord and your loved ones, be refreshed and restored!

** If you have any prayer needs or other needs during this time, do not hesitate to call! The church phone will still be active. **
