In Fall 2018, the church family is gathering for First Wednesdays GIG (Growing in Grace) events. During these intergenerational gatherings held on the first Wednesday of the month, members and guests explore topics selected from a survey administered on Rally Day. The purpose of GIG sessions is to discern more fully God's call to follow Jesus in these difficult times. The resources listed here are intended to help individuals and families explore each monthly topic in more depth.
