Renovation update
​We’re grateful you’re here. Your interest in helping shape the future of our church home means so much, and it’s a joy to have you connected to this community.
Updates
Sunday, May 17 is the last day to claim items that we are giving away for free. These items are in the NW classroom in the Basecamp area (labelled Donations).
​​​
Saturday, May 23 will be moving day. This will entail moving everything we want to keep to the gym and everything we don’t want somewhere else—Goodwill or the garbage. People with pick-up trucks are needed. Anyone over six years old is welcome. The goal is to empty the entire basement. A food truck will be onsite to provide free lunch for all volunteers. Please join us any time after 9:00 AM for our version of an Armish barn raising. Work hard. Eat well. Deepen friendships.
