Waving folks to join us for a moment of prayer.
We were encouraged by how many men and women stopped to ask for Prayer. It was beautiful to be invited into strangers stories and situations and lift up a blessing for them to our God!

We love our Pastors!

One of the highlights of the VBS crews day was getting to test drive Charlie's electric bikes after helping him out this afternoon!
He was genuinely so thankful for our teams help today, but he truly blessed us as well. The kingdom is funny that way, not all things are a competition, we can mutually bless one another.
