At The Shore

We think it's fair to say that this has been an extraordinary year. Yeah, extraordinary. There has been many struggles and hardships, maybe even the odd joy here and there, but ultimately 2020 has impacted all of us differently. In the words of Damian Barr, "We are not all in the same boat. We are all in the same storm."

This January, we're inviting you to come together At The Shore.

Even though it may be a metaphorical shore that we gather at this year, it is at the shore that Jesus encountered so many people during His ministry. It is where He called His disciples, It's where He taught people while standing in a boat. It's where He even cooked breakfast for His disciples. Jesus desires to encounter us even more desperately during these times of trials. So wherever you may be in this storm, we invite you to join us at the shore for one weekend. 

When they had brought their boats to shore, they left everything and followed him. -Luke 5:11
