Here’s everything you need to know about the Fall Festival!

What is the most tiring part of trick or treating? The unpredictable weather? Walking long, dimly lit roads with no sidewalks while dodging traffic? If you’re looking for a safer, stress free alternative this year, we’ve got you covered! We want to make this Halloween season easier, and more fun for you! 📅 Sunday, October 25, 4:00-5:30pm 📍Church Gym (click here for address) We’ve got lots to offer this Fall Festival—and it’s not just a break from the heat! We’ll have plenty of booths with games for all ages, giveaways to enter along the way, a bounce house, a puppet show with a gospel presentation, and of course—lots of candy. So whether you’re looking for a fun, family-friendly alternative to trick-or-treating this year, or just want to find some more opportunities to get free candy and experience community, our fall festival has something for everyone! No registration needed—just bring your family and a bag for candy! We can't wait to see you on Sunday, October 25th!

The BIG Meal Fundraiser

Two years ago, I went to a Christian worship conference with my family called Passion in Atlanta, Georgia. Now, for those of you who don’t know what Passion is, it’s a conference for thousands of students 18–25 years old that calls them to live for what matters most, “the name and renown of Jesus.” Passion believes that our generation will be used to change the climate of faith around the globe. And every year, they equip these students through a series of sermons, talks, worship, prayer, and encouragement, all throughout the course of 3 days. It was at this conference on January 3, 2025, that God began to lay on my heart the need for a young adults ministry in our city. I had just graduated a semester prior, and I was engaged to my beautiful wife Vivian, who was moving from the Metroplex, a place that had plenty of young adult ministries. I also had a brother and friends who had recently graduated and seemingly had nowhere to really connect with people their age. It was painfully obvious once I graduated that our church, and this city as a whole, did not have much for people our age. At the very first quarterly business meeting of 2025, we proposed starting a young adults ministry, and I had the pleasure of pouring out what God had laid on my heart at Passion. 4 months later, we had our first service for what we now call “Catalyst.” Taking Catalyst to Passion Passion 2027 takes place February 5–6, and we want to take our ministry there. To give them the opportunity to grow and build relationships, to strengthen their faith, to worship Him, to not just encounter God and know Him more, but to do it alongside thousands of other young adults their age. Here is where we need your help We would like to cover the cost of travel, hotel, and admission for the young adults going to Passion with our church. And we have an opportunity for you to help us make that happen! The BIG Meal Fundraiser Directly after worship on Sunday, September 13, the Catalyst group will be hosting a meal in the Fellowship Hall (B-117), with all proceeds going toward our trip to Passion 2027. Whether you’d like to eat at the church or get it to go, both options are available! Menu Pulled Pork or Chicken Baked Potatoes Green Beans Chocolate sheet cake The Price? Just a donation of any amount. So mark your calendars, make your lunch plans, and we’ll see you for lunch September 13! Want to Learn More About Passion?
