We remember that God is God and we are not.

    Sabbath at GardenCity

    Sabbath is not about doing less but about remembering more. When we stop, we make space to hear God’s voice again. Stillness and simple presence recalibrate our lives, returning us to our true identity as people who abide in Jesus.

    Sabbath Feast is an invitation to slow down and remember that we don’t have to rush or perform to belong. Around the table, we’ll practice rest together, share a simple meal, and enjoy the gift of being present with one another. It’s a night to receive, reconnect, and delight in God and each other as a church family.

    RSVP for Sabbath Feast

    Sabbath Prayer Night is an invitation to slow down and create space to be with God together. In a quiet, unhurried atmosphere, we’ll listen, pray, and rest our hearts in God’s presence. It’s a gentle evening to lay down what we’re carrying and remember that God meets us in stillness. We’ll begin at 6pm and there’s no RSVP necessary.
