We carry so much—regret, shame, the weight of what we’ve done or left undone.

And the thing we need most?

Forgiveness.

Not to erase the past…
but to release the weight.
To move forward.
To rebuild what’s been broken.

“To hear the words you are forgiven may be the most beautiful gift of all.”

🎬 A powerful night of storytelling, connection, and perspective.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the screening of Sons this weekend. Your presence helped bring these stories to life.

Following the film, we had the opportunity to hear directly from the filmmakers and connect live with Andriy Kolbovsky in Ukraine, who shared about his ongoing work delivering aid and training first responders—even as the war continues around him.

The filmmakers reminded us that these stories matter—and that simply paying attention is a meaningful first step.

Sons is currently making its way through the film festival circuit and is not yet publicly released. In the meantime, you can watch the first two films in the series—Blue Skies Over Donetsk and Gold Fields in Donbas—on YouTube:

Filmmakers Eli Davidson and Jeff Weeks plan to return to Ukraine this October to continue documenting this story.

Stay connected, follow, and support the project:

Thank you for being part of an evening that reminds us how connected we are to stories around the world. 🌍

Stories of Ukraine

04/21/2026

Belonging isn’t something you earn.

It’s not about labels.
Not about categories.
Not about proving yourself.

Belonging is about being seen.
Being welcomed.
Being wanted.

And here’s the truth:
You’re not just included… you’re needed.

Every gift. Every story. Every person matters.

Three words can change a life:

“I was invited.”

Who in your life needs to hear that from you this week?

04/12/2026

Start someone’s story.

“I was invited.”

It sounds small… but it’s not.

It’s how people find community.
It’s how people discover they belong.
It’s how lives begin to change.

Someone in your world is closer than you think to saying yes—
they just need an invitation.

Maybe from you.

And if you need to hear it today… this is yours:

You’re invited.

🕙 Sundays at 10 AM & 11 AM
🎉 Wiggle Church Thursdays at 5:30 PM (worship + dinner + fun)
