Over the coming months, we will highlight one theme each week as an invitation to align our hearts and resources with the living reality of Christ’s Kingdom here and now. ![](https://churchusercontent.com/api/image-proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fauth.churchspace.co%2Fstorage%2Fv1%2Fobject%2Fpublic%2Forganization-assets%2F2a5f52cb-64b3-4307-b9b3-1c483117b5d3%2FKingdom_Future_2026-04-22T14-36-45-356Z.png) **Reflection Question:** Who is one young person or college student in our church I can intentionally encourage or pray for this week? How specifically could I serve with the **Block Party?** ![](https://churchusercontent.com/api/image-proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fauth.churchspace.co%2Fstorage%2Fv1%2Fobject%2Fpublic%2Forganization-assets%2F2a5f52cb-64b3-4307-b9b3-1c483117b5d3%2FBlock_Party_2026_Thumbnail_1000_x_300_px_2026-05-05T13-05-36-647Z.png) We invite you and your whole family to join us on May 25th from 1–4 PM for our Annual **Block Party.** This is a beautiful opportunity for our kids and youth group students to step into leadership—**Kingdom Future** in action—as they learn to serve, love, and lead alongside the church family. We are also investing in the future by deepening relationships with the GLAD kids and their families in Bayberry. Serving together creates space for connection, trust, and shared purpose. We want to see our students and the GLAD kids growing side by side, discovering the joy of purposeful service as one community.
