Connect Night

We are creating space for something simple and meaningful: connection. Join us for an evening dinner designed to help you meet new people, share stories, and feel more at home in our community. We will gather around round tables, enjoy a good meal, and engage in guided conversations that invite everyone into the mix. No awkward icebreakers, just thoughtful questions, good listening, and the kind of shared table where real connection can begin.

This night is also a chance to take your next step into community life. You will be able to learn about and sign up for Life Groups, explore ways to serve, and discover other opportunities to get connected in ways that fit your season of life. Whether you are brand new, returning after some time away, or have been here for years but are ready to deepen relationships, this evening is for you. Come as you are, bring your curiosity, and pull up a chair. There is a place for you at the table.

Trip Dates: June 12–22, 2026

Signups Available Through the End of April

There are places in the world where the land itself feels thin — where heaven and earth seem closer together. Ireland is one of those places.

This summer, I invite you to join me on a pilgrimage into the wild beauty of Ireland and into the courageous, imaginative faith of Saint Patrick — a faith rooted in prayer, shaped by the rhythms of the land, and alive with hope. We will stand along the Cliffs of Moher as the Atlantic crashes below. We will walk ancient monastic paths and worship in sacred spaces like Holycross Abbey and Down Cathedral, where Patrick’s story still echoes through the stones. We will explore Connemara’s windswept hills, the Giant’s Causeway, the streets of Dublin and Belfast, and the villages where music spills out of pubs at night.

This is more than a tour. It is a pilgrimage.

It is mornings filled with Irish breakfast and laughter.

It is evenings of music at the Merry Ploughboy Pub.

It is learning, tasting, praying, and listening.

It is sharing great food, a wee bit of whiskey or a pint of Guinness, and conversations that linger long after the glasses are empty.

Saint Patrick’s faith was not small or timid. It was a faith that saw God in wind and fire, in friendship and forgiveness, in mission and mercy. On this journey, we will explore how his story still speaks to our own — how courage, calling, reconciliation, and joy are woven into the fabric of this beautiful island.

Come for the beauty beyond measure.

Come for the stories that shaped a nation.

Come for faith deepened, friendships strengthened, and laughter shared.

Ireland is waiting.

And I would be honored to walk this pilgrimage with you.
