Friday evening

A place has been prepared for you

Friday’s dinner is set apart for real connection: an elevated catered meal we hope to serve family-style, with linen, fine china, candlelight, and time to linger in conversation.

Pull up a chair, whether you know everyone here or no one at all.

Teaching, worship & encouragement

That your love may abound

“that your love may abound more and more”

Philippians 1:9 (ESV)

Paul prayed that his friends’ love would keep on growing. That’s our prayer for this weekend: love rooted in Christ, overflowing toward one another, and abounding as we gather. We’ll worship together in our new sanctuary, open God’s Word, and talk it over in small groups.

Our theme passage is Philippians 1:9⁠–⁠11.
