Harbor Happenings
Harbor Students Dart Lunch
Every Other Thursday
June 18 – July 30 | 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM
All Harbor Students (6th-12th grade) and leaders, as well as graduating 5th graders (incoming 6th graders) are invited to join us every other Thursday this summer for Dart Lunch as a midweek time of fellowship in place of Salt & Light. On the Sunday prior to the scheduled lunch, a student will be chosen to throw a dart at a dartboard filled with nearby places to eat in the Rivercity Marketplace. Drop your student off at the chosen location at 11:30 am with their own money for lunch, and pick them up at 1 pm!
We will post the lunch location to the parent chat in Church Center, so be sure to join that group if you haven’t already: JOIN GROUP
Waters for FCHS Band Camp
Over the years, we’ve been blessed to build and maintain a meaningful relationship with First Coast High School—especially with its band program and director—and we’re excited to continue growing that connection.
Throughout the football season, we’ll be collecting bottled water to help keep the band hydrated during their upcoming Band Camp. It’s a simple way we can support these hardworking students as they prepare for the new school year.
We’ll also be welcoming the band as part of our Back-to-School Sunday celebration and are prayerfully exploring additional ways to strengthen this partnership, serve their program, and be a blessing to our community.
Donations can be dropped off at the back of the Sanctuary. Please ask for help if you need assistance bringing in water from your car.
Summer Sabbath
Sunday’s July 5 – August 2
10:30 AM Service Only
Beginning July 5, we will enter into a season known as “Summer Sabbath”. During this time (July 5-August 2), there will be no 9:00 am hour*. Each Sunday, join us for Family Worship at 10:30 am in the Sanctuary, with Harbor Kids provided for babies-2’s. These Family Worship services will be intentionally planned as multigenerational gatherings.
This season will allow our church time to rest and gear up for a strong start to the new school year, which we will kick off with a Lifegroup Relaunch Potluck and Back to School Sunday on August 9th.
*No Adult Lifegroups, Harbor Students, or Harbor Kids will take place at 9 am. Harbor Kids, ages 3 and up, will be joining us in the Sanctuary for Family Worship at 10:30 am.

9:00 AM Relaunch

We hope you’ve enjoyed our annual Summer Sabbath as a church. This intentional season of rest has given our Lifegroup, Kids, and Student leaders time to recharge—while also giving us the special opportunity to worship together across generations through our Family Worship Sundays.

GriefShare: Weekly Support Group
Wednesdays, August 19 – November 18
6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
A GriefShare support group is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. Through this 13-week group, you’ll discover what to expect in the days ahead and what’s “normal” in grief. Since there are no neat, orderly stages of grief, you’ll learn helpful ways of coping with grief, in all its unpredictability—and gain solid support each step of the way. (Next Gen Building Room 101)
