Tonight (Friday) we’ll meet at 6 p.m. in the Foxhole and shuttle over to the river! It’ll be pretty low-key, we’ll play around, have worship and time in the Word, and then come back for Mr. Bruin.
Hope you can make it!

Matheteis is an event where we create space for civil discourse to current issues in society by exploring them from a biblical perspective. Our first topic for this discussion series is “Donald Trump: The Evangelical Conundrum.”
