Families! Join us for the next Rooted Family Investment Night

Worship, Food, Fellowship. These are the elements of our Family Investment Night; a chance for parents and children aged birth through twelfth grade to grow together, learning practices for deeper investment in faith as a family. Last month, we started out with some great contemporary worship, led by Payton Stone and Sarah Kate Sellers Eversole. We then had a meal together, learned about the simple practice of examen and the impact it can have on practicing faith as a family, and then wrapped up with some worship and a challenge to practice Examen until we meet again.

Now the time has come and we will meet again. Building upon Examen, we’ll talk about the spiritual benefits of sharing a meal together as a family and how we can make that into a time of growing in faith and family. We’ll also be joined in our worship by Josh Thompson, adding to the beautiful music already present.

So, if you are looking for ways to deepen your relationship with each other as a family, build relationships with other families, or perhaps for a different style of worship, Family investment Night is for you. We look forward to seeing you in the Fellowship Hall on November 5 at 4:00 p.m

Together we are sharing the heart of God...
