Join us this Sunday as we continue to learn about the formation of the church. Recall that after Jesus left earth for the final time, Pentecost was the day the Holy Spirit came upon the disciples. They were filled with energy to preach about Jesus, and the church was born.
After Pentecost, the story in the Bible’s Book of Acts keeps moving. The Spirit formed a community that learned, prayed, and grew together. Acts 2:42 says they devoted themselves to teaching, fellowship, shared meals, and prayer. It is a picture of people being shaped for the work ahead of them, and it reminds us that spiritual growth is something God continues to do in every generation.
At Creekside, we are paying attention to that same kind of formation. We believe God is building a community that listens well, practices new skills, and stays open to the Holy Spirit’s guidance. This is a season of learning and imagination, and everyone who connects with us is invited into that journey.
Gen Alpha (children younger than 18) are a key part of this story. We see their curiosity, their questions, and their desire to participate in worship in ways that reflect who they are. We want to help them discover how God speaks through their creativity, their gifts, and their voice. Their growth is strengthened when adults encourage, mentor, and walk with them.
As summer begins, we are opening new opportunities for this work to grow. And wherever you are in your own faith journey, we hope you sense this truth: God continues to guide and grow people in real ways today. There is room for you to learn, grow, and discover what God is doing in your life too!
