Rec the Yard soccer edition was a lot of fun! We played games, shared snow cones, and ran and ran and ran. ⚽️🏆🏃‍♂️‍➡️🏃🏿‍➡️🍧

Next Wednesday be sure to join us for Pets & Portraits at 6:30! Bring your pet - the more the merrier - and get a family picture together. 🐶🐱🐔🐥🐸🦖🧐

Join us tonight for the first Rec the Yard of the season. We'll celebrate the start of the world cup with some friendly soccer playing in the yard. Wear a team jersey if you have one. If soccer isn't your thing, feel free to play board games in the atrium or pull up a camping chair and enjoy some conversation.

Rec the Yard is a fun and relaxed way to spend time with church family. Friends and neighbors are welcome!

It's summer break! We hope you find time and space to relax with your family this week.

We are on a short break from Wednesdays but will resume June 10 with Rec the Yard as we celebrate the start of the World Cup with some soccer-themed activities. Whether you enjoy soccer or no, plan on coming and spending time with church family June 10!

In the meantime, what are some fun summer plans you have?

It’s June 1st. As Father's Day approaches, ECNaz will be accepting applications for the church’s unofficial Dad Joke Ministry. 😜

Pentecost and the filling of the Holy Spirit was not the launch of a church building or evangelism program...it was the awakening of a people.

People empowered to love deeply.
Pray boldly.
Serve faithfully.
Carry hope into the world around them.

How have you seen the Holy Spirit at work in your life lately?

Monday Mindshift 🎯
Let’s play a little gratitude game today:
Take one thing you normally complain about... and swap the perspective.

- Too many emails? You’re trusted.
- A gray morning? Nature is taking a deep breath; you can too.
- A sink full of dishes? People were fed there.

Sometimes the ordinary things draining us are also the quiet proof of a full and purposeful life.
“Give thanks in all circumstances...”
1 Thessalonians 5:18

Your turn: what’s one “ugh” you can swap into gratitude today? Drop your perspective shift below ⬇️
