Expanding the
Boundaries of Worship
Sundays
5-7 PM
Youth Lounge
Join us for Youth @ 5 this summer as we push the boundaries of our understanding and definition of what it
means to worship God.
God is waiting for our worship-in the moments we
expect to see him and feel him, and in the
moments we least expect him. God is calling us to himself, calling us to love him and love others, and calling us
to CONNECT with him.
