It's Giving...Abundance this November

As Pastor Nick shared in yesterday’s message, we are invited to live out a story much bigger than our own—a story shaped by God’s vision of His kingdom coming to life here in Madison. One of the ways we embrace this vision is by giving back to our neighbors and friends through our time, friendship, and resources. This November, Orchard Church has several opportunities to join in this spirit of generosity:

Find more details about each opportunity below. We are all invited to lean into this season with hearts ready to nurture and celebrate the spirit of abundance that the Holy Spirit stirs within us. I pray that we do.

In His Abundant Love, 
Leiah

Upcoming Events

    We hope you'll join us this Sunday, November 10 at 4:30 p.m. for our next Sunday Supper: Friendsgiving 2024, as we kick off a new tradition of monthly potluck-style meals. Orchard Church will provide the turkey, but it'll take a village to make it a meal. RSVP and sign up to bring a complementary dish to the traditional Thanksgiving fare. Invite your friends, neighbors, and family to join us! There are activities for the kids and conversation for everyone.

    Every month, we’ll gather for a cozy dinner and meaningful fellowship with our Orchard Church family. Bring a dish, share some laughs, and get to know each other better. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect and enjoy the warmth of community—we look forward to seeing you there!
