AS IS Church

Today we pause.

Not for sales or a day off, but to remember real people who did not come home. Sons and daughters. Mothers and fathers. Neighbors and friends who gave everything.

This morning we are doing the Murph, one of the most well known Memorial Day workouts in CrossFit, named after Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy who was killed in action in Afghanistan in 2005. We do not do it to suffer. We do it to remember. Every rep is a small way of saying his name and the names of all who made the same sacrifice.

After the workout we are firing up the grill and sharing a meal together, because community is one of the things worth protecting.

The rest of the day we are off, and we think that is right. Rest is not disrespect. It is part of honoring a gift that cost someone everything.

If you are carrying a heavy heart today, whether for someone you lost recently or years ago, you are not alone. We see you. We sit with you in this.

Take a moment today to say a name out loud. Tell a story. Let the grief be real.

That is how we honor the ones we have lost.

TONIGHT AT AS IS CHURCH

Boys and Girls Bible Studies are on tonight and we are saving you a seat.

Come for a light dinner and stay to dig into God's Word with people your age who are asking the same questions you are.

Girls meet together. Boys meet together. Both groups keep it real.

Middle school and high school students, this is your space. Bring a friend who needs it.
