Fall Focus: Holy Conversations
“Holy Conversations” is our fall theme highlighting both discipleship offerings and our sermon series. Dr. Jeff Roberts will use this theme in sermons throughout the fall leading into Advent.
In 2026, the Deacons will also study this resource. As a church family, we invite you to consider the ways we can have holy conversations each day—conversations that share, grow, and deepen discipleship.
