Join us this Sunday for a joyful Intergenerational Service as we kick off the summer season together!  With our Haven Kids’ Director recovering from surgery, we’re taking this opportunity to gather all ages in one shared space for a special morning of connection, creativity, and celebration.

Instead of our usual teaching and discussion, we’ll have:

🧩 Games & Group Activities
🎨 Creative Stations for Art & Expression
🙏 Moments of Spiritual Reflection
🎶 Worship We Can All Sing Along To

Whether you’re 5 or 75, we hope you’ll join us for this playful, meaningful, and joy-filled Sunday service.  Bring your whole self, and maybe a friend too, and let’s make this a morning to remember!

Game Night is back!  Join Joanna & Jess for an evening of fun, laughter, and friendly competition over board games.  This is a recurring event each month—unless our hosts have a scheduling conflict—so mark your calendars!
