July 26 Albright Sabbath Celebration Greeley
Join us for a special Summer Gathering as we practice the gift of Sabbath together. Bring your children, your grandchildren, and a picnic meal for your family, and come enjoy an evening of rest, connection, and gratitude.
As we share a meal together, we'll take time to recount and discuss the goodness of God in our lives—celebrating His faithfulness, provision, and grace. Scripture repeatedly calls God's people to remember and to tell the next generation of His mighty works. If our children and grandchildren are to know that their family legacies are wrapped intricately and intimately in Christ Jesus, then we must tell them. Together, we'll share stories of God's goodness and help pass on a living faith to those who come after us.
Come ready to rest, rejoice, and remember.
