"RISE UP" - LAUNCHES THIS SUNDAY!!


We're kicking off a new Sunday morning tradition for students called Rise Up - starting May 18! From 9:20-9:45am, students can swing by Global Grounds 143 for full-size donuts, friends, and hangout time before the service. Afterward, we'll all sit together up front! To help with costs, we're asking for a one-time $10 donation per student for the year. It's an easy, fun way to build community and feel at home on Sundays - we'd love to see your student there!
