Everyone Builds: Building Faith in Families 🧱❤️

Faith doesn't grow in isolation. It grows through relationships, shared experiences, meaningful questions, and the people who walk alongside us through every season of life.

Last Sunday, as part of our Everyone Builds stewardship campaign, we heard the story of Josh Beal and his kids, Parker and Taylor. Their story reminds us of the importance of being a church where children and teenagers are welcomed, valued, and encouraged to grow in their faith, and where families find a community to call home.

When we invest in the faith of the next generation, we're building something that lasts far beyond ourselves.

And everyone has a part to play!

With unprecedented warm weather all October, the Playmates Preschoolers really got to enjoy their new outdoor mud station, donated by the Wolter Family, in honor and in memory of Nancy Wolter. Everyone is enjoying this beautiful day! We know Nancy is smiling down on us from above.

During Time With Children, Pastor Karol gave us a live illustration of how hard it is to focus on more than one thing! She assigned several kids "jobs" while she told a Bible story, and they struggled to recall basic facts afterward! This was a perfect segue into the story of Martha (Luke 10), who was so busy with all her work that she couldn't sit with Jesus. The children will not soon forget how it felt to realize they were too distracted to listen!

Home Sweet Home Ministries is in need of turkey gift cards for its Thanksgiving meal boxes this year. If you’d like to help a local family enjoy a Thanksgiving meal, please consider dropping off a gift card directly to Home Sweet Home.

Thank you for helping nourish our community and showing our neighbors in Bloomington what it means to follow Jesus.

Big Give 2026 is off to a great start, and we’re so thankful for everyone who has already joined us in making a difference! ❤️

We’re working toward our goal of providing Thanksgiving meals for 1,500 families, and you can help make it happen by purchasing a turkey card at Hy-Vee!

Just $20 per card helps us get one step closer to our goal. You can purchase a turkey card at the register or customer service counter.🦃

Every card makes a difference. Let’s come together to help feed families this Thanksgiving!

Kids Worship and Faith Stations - Our October theme is "The Safe Place - God is My Strength"! As we wrapped up the month, we talked about how safe we can feel knowing that "Jesus wins" in the end! We enjoyed crafts, played games, and even used percussion instruments in our song time!
