A Personal Invitation from Pastor Quintin
We would love for you and your family to join us this Memorial Day Weekend as we honor those who gave so much for our freedom. This meaningful service will include a special time of prayer and reflection as the church pauses to remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. We will be encouraged to honor the legacy of courage, sacrifice, and service represented by America’s fallen heroes while also being pointed toward the ultimate hope we have in Jesus Christ: a hope that sustains us in times of grief, gratitude, and remembrance.
As an expression of gratitude and hospitality, we will also provide a free meal for veterans and their families following the service.
Whether you’re a veteran, active military, family member, or simply someone who wants to remember and reflect with community, you are welcome here! Quintin Stieff, Lead Pastor
