You’re invited to a special evening of worship, fellowship, and food on Thursday, September 18 from 5–7 p.m. on the Bockman Hall “front porch” (by the cross). Come to this refreshing time of praise and worship outdoors—the perfect way to pause in the middle of the week, connect with God, and share in community. You can expect spirit-filled worship, time to connect with friends and classmates, and delicious tacos and soda. The weather looks promising, and we’re planning for a beautiful evening outside. If it happens to rain, we’ll simply move inside to the dining room and continue the celebration together. Bring your heart and your voice, and come as you are!
