Faith, Love, Hope.
Their faith in Jesus Christ.
Their love for one another.
Their hope anchoring it all.
Who is someone in your life (preferably not sitting at your table) who reminds you of the faith, love, and hope Paul describes in Colossians 1? Why?

Share your answer with your table. Then, sometime this week, tell that person. Encourage them by letting them know how you've seen Jesus through their life.

Serving Opportunities

Have you ever wondered what it truly means to serve? It’s more than just doing a good deed—it’s a transformative journey that draws us closer to God and shapes us in powerful ways.

When we say yes to serving, God equips us, fills us, and walks with us through it all. It’s not just about helping—it’s about stepping into His purpose and experiencing His heart more deeply.

If you’ve been sensing that nudge to serve, now’s the time to take a step. Stop by the Info Center to learn more about serving or visiting our website to see what opportunities are available.
