Fall Ministry Fair: On Sunday, August 30 we are hosting a Ministry Fair in the Gym between and after services so you can see all the ministries happening at The Met. Look on our website under "Events" to see what's coming up and consider how you will get involved this fall. 

Monthly Food & Fellowship + Church-Wide Prayer: This evening (Sunday, August 30) we will come together for a meal and fellowship at 5:00pm, followed by Church-Wide Prayer at 6:00pm. 

Gathered as One Service: On Sunday, September 6 we will be gathering everyone together into one joint worship service at 10:00am on the lawn outside the chapel doors. Bring your lawn chairs, a hat, water bottle, and come prepared to worship together outside. Please also bring a packed lunch and stick around afterward to fellowship together. Livestream will be available in the Chapel for those who would prefer to sit inside or are tuning in remotely. Please visit the event page for "Gathered as One" to learn more.

Members' Meetings: A reminder that on Sunday, September 13 at 4:00pm we will have our Members' Meetings. We will look back at all that God has done in our church this past year, and vote on the budget for this upcoming ministry year. Please prioritize being there if you are a member.

MetKids Summer Schedule: From now until August 30, MetTykes and Elementary Grades 1-3 will be available at the 9:00am service only. Programming will not be offered for children in Grades 4-6 during this time, so we encourage families to worship together during the service. The Family Room will continue to be open for those with younger children. If you have visitors this summer and they would like to have their children in our Sunday School program, please have them come to The Hub and our Check-In Team will be able to assist them. Registration for 2026/2027 is now open.

Missions Café: Through the summer months, the Missions Café upstairs will be open on Sundays between and after services, from 10:00am-11:00am and from 12:15pm-1:15pm (the main floor café will be closed). Coffee and tea will continue being served, and the new summer menu includes ice cream, popsicles, and lemonade. All proceeds go towards missions.
