Join us this Sunday at 4:30pm for our Fall Festival!  The Fall festival is  more than games and snacks. It is a chance to live out the ‘fruit of the Spirit” in real time. Paul’s letter  to the Galatians found in the Bible  (Galatians 5:22–23)  lists love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control as “fruits of the Spirit.”

 

The “fruits” are how we should live and treat people. These aren’t abstract virtues. They appear when a teen helps a younger kid with a festival craft, when Pastor Carrie patiently explains a game for the fifth time, or when a parent shares a quiet moment of gratitude over a cup of cider. God moves through ordinary interactions and this festival gives us space to practice that kind of everyday faith.

 

No doubt our world often feels rushed and divided, especially here now in the DMV. Events like this remind us of what Christian community looks like. It is about showing up with joy, choosing kindness, and creating peace in small, tangible ways. What Paul wrote in his letter to the Galatians 2,000+ years ago is not really a list. It is a blueprint for how we treat each other. And on October 26th, we get to live it out together!  Join us!
