Rally Sunday

Worship at 10:30 am · Sanctuary

Watch Live Plan your visit

Rally Sunday is the kickoff of our ministry year — the Sunday we gather back together after the summer and look ahead to the season in front of us. Classes, groups, and programs start back up, and it’s a good morning to be curious: to see what’s new, find where you’d like to plug in, and mark your calendar for the fall.

We worship together at 10:30 a.m. in the Sanctuary. During the service we’ll bless the back-to-school supplies gathered over these past Sundays before they go out to local schools.

Afterward, stay for the Rally Sunday Potluck Picnic — main dishes provided, with sides, salads, and desserts brought by all of us.

More details about the day are still coming together. Watch this space and the newsletter as Rally Sunday gets closer.
