Vintage Band in our Sunday Service

August Worship Series: Faith & Film
This August, join us for Faith & Film as we explore how stories on the screen can deepen our understanding of God's story. Each week we'll pair a popular film with Scripture, discovering themes of courage, identity, belonging, hope, and God's presence in our lives.
To get the most out of the series, we encourage you to watch the movies ahead of time—or revisit an old favorite!
August 2: Joseph: King of Dreams or Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
August 9: How to Train Your Dragon
August 16: Encanto
August 23: Inside Out 2
Then, on August 30, we'll celebrate Faith on a Stick! As Minnesota gathers for the Great Minnesota Get-Together, we'll explore the biblical connection between food, celebration, and gratitude. From harvest festivals to shared meals, Scripture reminds us that God delights in bringing people together.
