Hopes & Fears - Week 1 // January 4, 2026

Its 2026 ya’ll!

We are kicking off the new year with a new series centered around hope and fear. This week Pastor Jeni reminds us that through Christ, our hopes and fears are secured. We then reflected on 2026 together. Below you will find all of the same resources used during the service. Join us to begin 2026 on a reflective and spiritual note.
