Are you feeling the itch to travel this summer? Whether it’s hopping in the car for a close-to-home road trip, or getting more adventurous and getting on a plane, many of us are ready for some adventure this summer (on some level) after a few years of sticking so close to home. Even just being tourists in our own city! No matter where we find ourselves this summer, it’s amazing to think that God is there, too.
Starting in July, we’re launching into “Every Square Inch“, a summer teaching series exploring what it means to partner with God in His mission to save the world He loves. What would it look like for us to be excited about sharing Jesus, no matter where we are? If you’re sticking around Calgary, join us in person at the Deerfoot or Southwest campuses. On the go this summer? Watch and connect anytime, anywhere with FAC Online:

3 Ways to Connect in Your Community
- Plan and host a block party: Did you know FAC has a block party trailer for FAC Southwest with all the supplies? Check out the City of Calgary website for getting a permit, and contact Pastor Jeff Marshall for ideas and help!
- Get involved with a community garden: If making things grow is fun and relaxing for you, why not practice your green thumb while connecting with others from the community!
- Cool off with your kids at a water park: Calgary has some fantastic parks! Why not make it an opportunity to get to know other families while your kids splash and play together?
