At Magnify we hope to be in relationship with each other one-on-one, in small groups, and corporately. Being willing to be known and to know others is a vital part of our discipleship. Our hope is that each person connected to Magnify feels known, seen, and loved.
Please follow the link below to submit your contact refresh, or stop by the Connect Desk in the atrium at your campus on October 4 or 11 to fill out a Contact Refresh Card and get your picture taken.
Circle Up – Oct 25, between 1st and 2nd service (approx. 10:15a – 10:45a)
