Everyone talks about chasing the dream. Nobody talks about what happens when the life you are actually living isn’t the one you pictured.

This Sunday we are starting Living the Dream. A series about what happens when the plan falls apart. When the people who were supposed to be there aren’t. When the dream you had and the life you are living don’t match up. And what faith looks like in the middle of all of that.

See you Sunday!

This Weekend: Pastor Chat is this Sunday, September 13, after all services at both campuses. It’s a great opportunity to meet the team, share your story, ask questions and get to know more about who we are.

Next Week: Small Groups officially kick off next week. If you’ve been searching for community, this is one of the easiest ways to get connected, dive deeper into the sermon, talk about real life, and find people who show up for each other in a way that is hard to find anywhere else.

September 20: Next Sunday is Bible Sunday! Every kindergartner and third grader has the opportunity to receive one of our age-appropriate Bibles as part of our new Faith Builders milestone program, plus lunch and games after service!

September 21: If you or someone you know is going through a tough season, GriefShare begins Monday September 21st, 6:30 to 8pm at North Oak. It’s a 13-week group for anyone processing loss.

September 28: The Justice Team presents Peacebuilding in Colombia. Karson Davis will share stories from a Young Adult Peace Pilgrimage to Colombia and what it means for communities of faith to respond to injustice through action, not just words. Childcare is provided.

It started as a group of teenage girls who just wanted to spend more time together. They had no idea they were building friendships that would last a lifetime.

“Church has never been limited to what happens on Sunday. It’s the people who walk beside you through every season of life and keep showing up long after the meeting has ended.”

Your story is worth sharing. A VBS moment. A conversation after service. A first Sunday you almost didn’t come to. If that’s your story, we’d love to hear it!

And if you have expertise in a specific field and are open sharing it with our community, we would love to connect with you too!

Maybe you’ve sat in a packed room, a full restaurant, a crowded concert, and still felt completely alone. You can be surrounded by people and still not be known by a single one of them. Last Sunday, Pastor Bryan explores what it actually takes to move from being in the same room to genuinely being known.
