Sunday School classes, Small Groups, and individuals are encouraged to participate! The point of our talent show is to celebrate the diversity of our community and to provide a platform for all kinds of talents to shine, so if you have a talent that might seem a little out of the ordinary, don't be afraid to share it with us! Maybe you can juggle, or do an impression of your favorite celebrity, or have a unique talent that nobody else has seen before. We want to see it all!

Join us for an evening of laughter, entertainment, and community. Don't miss out on this chance to showcase your talents and have some fun!
