North: Our Sundays will Look a Bit Different in August!
NORTH
In mid-August, the YMCA is resurfacing their gym floors, meaning we’re not able to use the gym. Here’s what our schedule will look like:
August 13th | With New Grace at 10:30AM This first Sunday, we will be joining our New Grace* brothers and sisters in southeast Fort Wayne! (*”New Grace” is our shorthand for Grace Gathering Central and New Life Church of God) Not only will this be a great expression of unity and a new experience for many, but we’ll get to see the location of the future Oxford Dream Center that many of you have helped support (gracegathering.com/ftsoo) and pray over the land after the service!
August 20th | Outdoor Service at the Y We’ll have our second ever Sunday gathering outdoors in the YMCA parking lot. We will have chairs available, kid’s ministry will still meet in the Child Watch area indoors, and we will use the pavilion if the weather looks a little rainy.
August 27th | Back in the Gym or Outdoor Service at the Y? Depends on how long the renovation takes 🙂
