Awakening Vision Church-Wide Small Group Series
Starting on September 15, we will be starting a church-wide small group series called Awakening Vision. What would awakening look like in Williamsburg? What would it mean to be fully awake and alive to God’s plans and purposes for our lives? We’ll be seeking God’s heart together in this 6-week church-wide small group series. Each week the messages on Sundays will line up with the small group session, where we’ll go deeper into the message for that week.
Small Group Fair
Before and after worship on Sunday, Sept 8, we will be having a small group fair. Come and explore the small groups that Daybreak has to offer or connect and start a new group. We will gather on the patio behind Legacy starting at 10am on Sunday. You can also explore groups after the service as well.
If you have questions about the fair or about joining a group, contact our small groups coordinator. Stephanie Turner.

Prepare for College
One of the biggest transitions of life and faith for a young person is the move from school and childhood into young adulthood and often college. We believe it is the call of families and churches to prepare and initiate our young people for this transition. This course is made to help young people start college ready and thriving in their faith. It is creatively designed with four very practical sessions; The Start, The Culture, The Opportunities and The Legacy. It takes you on a journey of exploring who you want to be at college, what God wants to say to you, what your values and priorities are, and the difference you can make.

Men’s Retreat
The Father’s Heart is an annual men’s gathering restoring spiritual sons to their Heavenly Father and helping them discover identity through Christ and encouragement in connection with fellow brothers.
Our identity as men is rooted in the Father’s heart. To be the men, fathers, husbands and sons we were created to be, we must know the Father and His heart toward us as sons. There is freedom, healing, peace and security in the Father’s heart. The Father’s heart restores brokeness and releases destiny into our lives.
This two day gathering frees men to be sons created in their Father’s image and releases hope for the journey. Make plans to be with us and discover the Father’s Heart for you…

Parking: There is a designated parking area near the entrance to Camp Emmanuel. You can drive to the camping and cabin area to unload, then park in the designated lot. Thanks.

Alpha
Details
Alpha is a series of conversations about things we all question in life: Why do bad things happen to good people? What's the purpose of life? What's next?
Alpha brings together people from all walks of life who are curious about faith. Each session starts with some time to eat, relax and get to know your group.
Each session covers a different topic of faith, either in a short talk or video. The Alpha episodes are designed to engage and inspire conversation. They’re about thirty minutes long and explore the big issues around faith and unpack the basics of Christianity, addressing questions such as Who is Jesus?, How can we have faith?, and How does God guide us?
The last part of an Alpha is a chance to share your thoughts on the session’s topic and discuss it in your small groups. It’s an open and welcoming environment, no matter what your opinion. There’s no pressure to say anything, but the floor is yours if you do want to.
