The theme for this event is WONDER. God is far bigger than we can imagine—beyond the vastness of nature and the universe itself. Everything, from mountains to oceans, works in perfect harmony, displaying His precision and wonder. Yet, it’s easy to lose sight of this awe. We often turn inward, questioning our purpose and place. But we should remember our true identity and connection to God, finding ourselves not in the world, but in His wonder.
PSALM 65:8
“The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders; where morning dawns, where evening fades, you call forth songs of joy.”
