(September 9 – December 18, 2026)
Looking for a place to connect, reflect, and explore your faith in the middle of the week? Join us for Wednesday Whatever, a weekly small group experience on Zoom.
Each Wednesday will be a little different, and that is the point! Depending on what is happening in our lives, our community, and the world, our time together might include prayer, storytelling, Bible study, reflection on current events, and breakout group conversation. There is no need to prepare or commit to being there every week. Simply bring yourself, your questions, and a willingness to listen and share. Whatever the week brings, we will make space to explore it together through the lens of faith.
