Midweek
Every 14th day at 6:00 PM
What is Midweek?
Midweek is a twice-a-month gathering (2nd and 4th Wednesdays) designed to create space for connection, conversation, and encouragement in the middle of everyday life. It is intentionally different from a Sunday service. Midweek is not about sitting in rows and listening to a long message. It is about gathering with one another, having honest conversations, and building real relationships.
Life does not pause between Sundays. Many of us carry stress, questions, exhaustion, and unseen burdens throughout the week. Midweek exists to be a place where you can bring your real self, take a breath, and be reminded that you do not have to carry everything alone.

What to Expect
Each Midweek gathering follows a simple, relaxed rhythm:
Arrival and connection
Grab a drink, settle in, and connect with people in a casual environment.Shared reflection
A short, practical thought connected to Sunday’s message, often shaped by real questions people have submitted.Small group conversations
Guided, low-pressure discussions in small groups to help you connect with others and talk about how faith and life intersect in real ways.Community and connection
Time to build relationships through conversation, simple activities, or shared moments that help people feel more at home at Forest Park.
You are never required to share more than you are comfortable sharing. You are always welcome to listen, observe, and engage at your own pace.

Provide a place where people can be honest about what they are carrying
Strengthen the sense of belonging at Forest Park

Share What You’re Carrying
You do not have to wait until Sunday to ask for prayer. If there is something you are walking through, we would love to pray with you and for you.
You can submit a prayer request ahead of time below. These requests help our team know how to care for our church family and how to pray intentionally during Midweek gatherings.
Bring Your Questions
Sunday does not have to be the end of the conversation.
Each Midweek gathering includes time to go a little deeper into the ideas we talk about on Sundays. People can submit questions about the message, Scripture, faith, or how to actually live this stuff out in real life. During Midweek, we take time to unpack one or two of those questions and talk honestly about what it looks like to apply the message in everyday situations.
If something from Sunday stuck with you, confused you, challenged you, or made you think, Midweek is a space to explore that together in a practical and grounded way. You do not need to have the right words or polished questions. If you are thinking it, chances are someone else is too.
We'd Love to Have You!
You do not have to have everything figured out. You do not have to know anyone before you come. You are welcome here.
If you are looking for a place to breathe, connect, and experience community in the middle of real life, Midweek is for you. Come as you are. Bring your questions. Bring your week. We would love to see you.
