Mercy Street Preview Service - Saturday July 18
Join us for a Mercy Street Preview Service at the Gessner Road Campus
We’re exploring what Mercy Street could look like in a new location, and we’d love for you to be part of the conversation. Join us for a preview service at the Gessner Road Campus with worship, prayer, kids and youth activities, and time to gather after the service.
Afterward, we’ll make space to ask questions, listen to one another, and discern together how people are feeling about this opportunity before us. Come be part of this important moment in the life of Mercy Street.
On Saturday July 18, we won’t meet at our normal location (11140 Greenbay). Instead join us at 1330 Gessner Road at 5:30PM in the Fellowship Hall!
Wednesday Dinner & Discussion
Join us for a midweek break! Enjoy dinner and discussion while the kids have a fun program of their own. Topics alternate between book studies and Bible Studies. You can jump in at any time. There will always be small group discussions and time to develop friendships. This is a great way to plug into the community. We typically take a break from meeting on holiday weeks, other than that, we will be there. Hope you can join us! (Nursery care available)
