25th ANNIVERSARY PICNIC
25th ANNIVERSARY PICNIC
Celebrate 25 Years of Following Jesus Together
Sunday, Aug. 30 | 4-7 pm
Twenty-five years ago, a group of people stepped out in faith to start Rooftop Church. Since then, God has written an incredible storyâstories of people meeting Jesus, friendships that became family, lives transformed, kids growing up in faith, baptisms, serving our community, and countless moments of Godâs faithfulness. This yearâs annual church picnic is more than just a picnicâitâs a celebration of that story.
Whether youâve been part of Rooftop since the beginning or you just started attending, weâd love for you to join us for an afternoon of food, fun, and celebrating what God has done over the last 25 years.
