Church of the Big Wood is excited to invite you to participate in our annual “Fall Focus,” this year entitled Practicing The Way. Named after a book by well-known pastor and author John Mark Comer, this eight-week study is described by Comer this way: “We are constantly being formed by the world around us. To be formed by Jesus requires each of us to become his apprentices.”

We are tackling a huge corn maze, shooting apple cannons and trying our best to solve some crazy riddles to break out of an escape room on this trip. It's a great chance to bring friends and join in some fall fun outside the valley. Click here for more info and to sign up.
