We come together to share a meal, meet new friends, and often join in prayer after the Awakening Service. No RSVP required. Just show up. Seriously! We can't wait to meet you - even if today is your first Sunday at EVERYDAY.

You will learn to untangle misbeliefs about God and find solace with others as you unpack gems of Scripture that speak hope and comfort into our souls.
