“Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!” - Philippians 4:4
Scripture clearly calls us––even commands us––to be people filled with joy. Yet the difficulties of life can often leave us feeling weary and joyless.
Believing that God himself is our never failing fountain of joy, we are setting apart a time this Fall to gather and seek Him, asking Him to Revive Us.
Join us and our guest, Scotty Smith, on the evenings of October 6th-9th as we sing, pray, sit under the teaching of God’s Word, seeking to be refreshed as the Spirit applies the gospel to our hearts in overwhelmingly glorious and joy-fueling ways! (read more about Scotty below)
WHEN: October 6th-9th (Sunday - Wednesday) at 6:30pm
WHERE: University Campus
Childcare is provided.
