This is for any former Wits' End Church folks out there who are tracking with the community from a distance:

As you may have heard, we are in the process of dissolving and will be bringing this expression of church to an end at the close of this year. A final celebration service is scheduled for Sunday, Jan 8th at 4pm. You are welcome to attend! OR if you cannot make it, we would love to have your words of blessing or a story of what this place meant to you in your journey.

Here is a place to gift us with those words:
