Social Outing on Sunday

This year, under the theme &ldquo;Walking Behind Him,&rdquo; we meditate on what it truly means to follow Christ.&nbsp; Beyond simply knowing the way, we &nbsp;as Christians are called to walk in His footsteps, surrender our own will, and entrust our journey to the One who has gone before us.&nbsp; Through every trial and uncertainty, we are asked to take up our cross and follow Him, discovering that the beauty of the journey lies not in knowing where we are going, but in knowing Whom we follow. Come. Walk Behind Him. Encounter Him.&nbsp;IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE: Registration will open on Sunday, November 1st, 2026 at 8:00 PM EST.
