Back to School Bash & Youth Kickoff came with plenty of splashes and a little oil!

Two different gatherings, but somehow the same thread kept showing up throughout the day-waters of belonging and beginnings, anointing and covenant, all echoing old promises in a new season.

Those baptismal waters seemed to be sneakily saying hi. 💧

And as we said at youth, while marking one another with crosses of oil: You are a beloved child of God, and you belong!

Did you know?
What in the world is a Porte-cochere? I hear this a lot.
Fort Hill added on a covered drop off to assist members coming to worship. We call it a Porte-cochere instead of the “drive thru” because in southern towns you see homes with such an architectural addition. Here is an example from Pastor Laura’s hometown. This is the home where my Christian Educator lives and where her husband grew up when it was the local Inn. Pastor Laura grew up with a carport where her daddy parked the tractor, his beloved John Deere. Not all of us grew up with a Porte-cochere. So now you know!

VBS 2026: A Recipe of Love — DAY FOUR: Serve

Today, we finished our week of VBS knowing that the recipe begins and ends with love!

Lazarus came to share a story about his two sisters, Mary and Martha, reminding us that serving isn’t only about what we do—it’s also about how we listen. Mary listened to Jesus, and Martha cared for others. We learned that listening is an important part of serving, helping us hear God’s call and better care for those around us.

As we added the ingredients of generosity and kindness to our Recipe of Love, we put our faith into action by helping with Rise Against Hunger, working together to serve our neighbors near and far.

Every helping hand, every listening ear, and every act of kindness became a way to share God’s love with the world.

I wonder where God is calling you to listen and serve…

VBS 2026: A Recipe of Love — DAY THREE: Bake

Today, we learned that transformation takes time to bake!

The story today was of the ten lepers who were healed by Jesus. While all ten were healed, only one changed direction, returned, and said, “Thank you.”

As we baked together the ingredients of patience and peace, we learned that gratitude can change our direction, helping us notice God’s love and give thanks for the gifts we receive.

I wonder where God might lead us to turn and serve tomorrow…
