Worship on the Lawn & Dessert Bake Off
October 9, 2026
6:00pm – 8:30pm
Join us for one of our favorite fall traditions—Worship on the Lawn! Bring your family, invite a friend, and enjoy an evening of fellowship, great food, live worship, and plenty of fun outdoors. Grab a lawn chair or blanket and settle in as we gather together to celebrate what God is doing in our church and community.
This is also a great opportunity to invite neighbors, coworkers, friends, and family members. Events like these provide an easy, family-friendly way to help ensure that every man, woman, and child within our reach hears the gospel and has the opportunity to respond.
