Celebration Sunday 2026
On Celebration Sunday, we paused to look back at God’s faithfulness over the past year—moments of provision, open doors, and quiet miracles we only recognized in hindsight. Pastor Chris then shared a short message centered on the word wonderment: that feeling of surprise, awe, and deep pleasure when we encounter something new, beautiful, or almost too good to believe.
Drawing from Psalm 25:4-5 and Jesus’ promise of the Holy Spirit’s guidance, Pastor Chris reminded us that God often moves in the shadows long before we see the full picture. Like connecting the dots as kids, we don’t always recognize the design until the last line is drawn. Yet He keeps saying, “I’ve got this.”
This is an invitation to keep watching for His fingerprints, to ask Him to show us His ways, and to walk forward together into whatever He has already prepared for the year ahead. Our hope remains firmly in the One who has been faithful since the beginning—and who is still at work among us.
