Awaken '26
Sep 17, 2026 • 6:30pm
Awaken ‘26 takes place September 17–20, building on the joy of last year’s inaugural weekend with expanded Thursday and Saturday evening gatherings. Together with our Sunday morning study and fall small group study, this weekend invites us to discover what it means to be a church filled with the Holy Spirit and sent into the world. Small groups remain at the heart of Awaken ‘26 because spiritual renewal isn’t meant to happen in isolation. If you’re not already part of one, we’ll gladly place you in a group when you register.

Dr. Michael Lloyd presenting the talk '‘Jacob’s Ladder – and the odd snake: the porousness of place and the place of prayer'. Join us in Sumners Hall on Thursday, September 17, from 11:30 am–1 pm, immediately following the Hope of Glory Bible Study. All women are welcome, whether or not you attend Hope of Glory. Please register in advance so we can plan lunch for everyone.

The Freedom of Forgiveness
How do we forgive when the wounds run deep? In this sermon, Jesus’ call to forgive “seventy-seven times” reminds us that forgiveness is not forgetting or ignoring injustice, but refusing to remain captive to the past. By returning to the mercy we have received at the cross, we can trust the Holy Spirit to lead us toward healing, freedom, and a life no longer ruled by resentment.
