Summer at Shades
Vacations, trips, sports, and holidays claim our time and before we know it our families are apart more than they’re together. What if we thought about our summer differently? What if instead of doing all the things, we decided instead to BE?
Be Intentional | Be in Prayer | Be Sent

At Shades & in the Community
Opportunities for Every Age
Be Intentional
In what’s happening this summer at Shades and invite someone far from God to join you.
Preschool
Shades Preschool has numerous opportunities this summer for your family to connect with other families in our community. We believe spending time together encourages one another and helps you remember there are other families on the journey of discipleship with you. Check out how you can be intentional this month with the events below!
