We can't wait to kick off a new year of learning, fellowship, and discipleship together at Rally Day on Sunday, August 16!
Please note: There will be no Chapel worship service on Rally Day. Students and teachers of all ages are invited to bring their backpacks for our Blessing of the Backpacks during the 11:00 a.m. worship service as we pray for a year filled with growth, wisdom, and God's presence.
This year's Faith Formation theme is "At the Table Together." Throughout the coming year, we'll explore how God welcomes, nourishes, transforms, and sends us through the shared life of the church. Through Bible studies, Worshipful Wednesdays, intergenerational gatherings, mission opportunities, and important conversations, we'll discover what it means to practice hospitality, generosity, reconciliation, and everyday discipleship. Together, we'll grow as a community where everyone has a place at Christ's table.
Throughout the year, we'll continue exploring At the Table Together through a variety of experiences designed to deepen our faith and strengthen our community. Highlights include our Setting the Table Worshipful Wednesday series, Intergenerational Mosaic Night, Grace-Filled Conversations using I Think You're Wrong (But I'm Listening), and Tables That Made Us, a storytelling series celebrating the meals, relationships, and moments that have shaped our lives. In the winter, we'll explore Scripture through our beautiful stained-glass windows in Windows of Faith, and during Lent we'll journey through Liturgy of the Ordinary, discovering God's presence in the rhythms of everyday life. In the spring, we'll serve our neighbors through the FISH Pantry Service Project, thoughtfully engage today's challenges in Sent Into the Digital World, and reflect on our spiritual gifts and calling through Imprinted and Sent. These are just a few of the opportunities to learn, serve, connect, and grow together as we discover what it means to live At the Table Together.

We look forward to celebrating the beginning of a wonderful new season as we gather At the Table Together and continue growing in faith, friendship, and Christ's love.
