As a church we hope to be marked by the love we have for one another (John 13:35). While Sunday rhythms give us a chance to quickly interact and engage with another, it’s often just enough time to say hi and bye before we’re back in the car. In an effort to cultivate community and build relationships with one another and our RLA Kids volunteer team, we’re excited to continue celebrating Family Connects as a regular rhythm of our church! Our hope is that we’re spending time getting to know and invest in one another so that we can best care for, encourage, and love one another.

Our next Family Connect is designed to be less programatic and will be a great time to simply have a fun day in the park together! We‘ll bring water, snacks, games, toys, and music. You’re encouraged to pack a picnic and blanket and enjoy the beautiful park alongside others in our church and community. There is also a jungle gym and two large parking lots off Victory Boulevard!

Many of our Kids Min volunteers are planning to be in attendance, but they will be there interact with families and kids, so kids will still need to be under parents supervision while there (so please no dropping off).

While this event is primarily designed as a great time for the families, kids, and RLA Kids volunteers to connect, all of us are part of this church family and should be invested in the lives of families in our church; we’d love to have anyone in the church attend! We also encourage everyone to reach out to their neighbors and invite families outside our church (Christian and non-Christian alike) to join us as we seek to live our lives in community in our city.

It is a privilege to serve you and we hope to see you at the event!
