Did you notice? The calendar turned this week and fall is almost here. I love the fall because it’s the unofficial ‘new year’ which means new realities and new possibilities. New grades for the kids at school, new patterns at work, new patterns at home. And a chance to make positive changes for all of […]

So here’s a concept that we’d love for every parent to think about. Starting in September, we’d love for you to pick a service time to attend regularly. We have two services at each campus each weekend: 8:30 and 10:00. I know we talk about the convenience of having two services at our campuses.
