Upcoming Connections
Sunday Gathering
Sunday Gathering: This weekend we gather as apprentices of Jesus for worship!
We gather to connect over a drink and light snack before continuing to worship through prayer, scripture, Jesus story and songs.
We also have a children’s ministry for children nursery to grade 4.
Baptism Celebration
We don't believe the water itself saves you, or that baptism is a box to check on the way to somewhere else but we would be selling you something small and thin if we told you baptism is just a symbol. Just a public declaration. Just a nice moment.
Something happens in the water.
Paul writes in Romans 6 that when we're baptized, we're baptized into Jesus' death and that we rise with him into new life. This isn’t a metaphor but something real that happens at the intersection of water, Spirit, and a life being surrendered. Jesus himself was baptized and the heavens opened, the Spirit descended, the Father spoke. The Trinity showed up at the river.
The same Spirit is present when we get baptized.
Baptism is the moment the Holy Spirit marks something in us not because the ritual earns it, but because God is faithful to meet us in the places where we make ourselves fully available. There is a sealing that happens. A belonging that gets written somewhere deeper than memory. The early church understood this. They weren't being dramatic when they treated baptism as one of the most significant moments in a person's spiritual life. We couldn't agree more!
And Baptism, at its heart, is an act of apprenticeship. Going under the water is the body's way of saying what the mouth sometimes struggles to: I'm done running my own life. I want to learn from Jesus how to be human. I want to be shaped by him, formed by him, sent by him. And in that moment of surrender, the Spirit moves.
So, If you've been walking with Jesus, no matter how long, but you've never been baptized or want to be baptized as a conscious choice for yourself, I want to gently ask: is it time? Not because you have to. But because there may be something waiting for you in the water that no amount of believing from a distance can give you.
if this is stirring something in you: questions, curiosity, a quiet pull you're not sure what to do with I would genuinely love to have a coffee with you or your child. Send me a message and we’ll connect right away!
Contact pastor Wes for a conversation!
Start of Summer Party in the Park
Join us following the Baptism Service for a Party in the Park. Bring a Picnic lunch and we’ll head over to Zwick’s Park to enjoy a time to connect while our children play.
Rest Week!
Rest Week’s are a core rhythm to our community because God invites us to participate in Sabbath - a day to fully rest with God, family and within ourselves.
We rest from even gathering for worship in order for everyone to do what we love most. Yes, we love worship but it does require us to often give up other things we could be and in fact want to be doing.
So enjoy this Sunday doing whatever helps you connect to God, others and yourself in a special way.
We’ll see you next week!
Story & Song BBQ
Story & Song — Tuesdays in the Backyard
This summer, Reunion is trading the Sunday gathering and Tables for something OG.
Jesus Story & Song is our summer expression: Tuesday evenings in the backyard, built around three simple things: good food, live music, and a story of Jesus. We'll fire up the BBQ, eat together, sing a few songs around the fire, and slow down long enough to sit with a story worth sitting with.
No agenda. No performance. Just ordinary people, an open backyard, and the kind of evening that reminds you why community matters.
All are welcome. Come hungry.
Please note: Burgers and Hotdogs will be provided. We ask everyone to bring a summer side dish + a drink to share.
