WORSHIP THEME
Theme for August 2026
Step into Change
Change can feel uncertain, but it also opens the door to growth, discovery, and new connection. With each step, we practice bravery — choosing to show up, stay open, and keep going even when the path isn’t clear. Together, we are part of a living, interconnected world where every step forward shapes what comes next.
