We are pleased to announce that our worship gatherings have moved to 11am Sunday mornings at the historic
Pattern House.
A PART OF HELENA
Built in 1897, the Pattern House served as pay master in the early days for the Northern Pacific Railroad, to a pattern building workshop for the foundry that ran next door.
In the 90's, the Pattern House became a popular coffee house in Helena, but has been vacant since 2005. Encounter is now excited to use the space to connect with the Helena community and provide a unique environment in which to Encounter God, Experience Community, and Engage Culture.
OUR FIRST SUNDAY WAS PERFECT
We held our first un-announced gathering this last Sunday on March 27 as a "trial run" to determine the logistics of how to setup for worship, areas for kids, and refreshments. It was a success. The Pattern House is a perfect intimate environment that is warm and welcoming. View photos of the setup below.
AN AWESOME APRIL IS COMING
April is gonna be
AWESOME! We'll be taking every opportunity to get the word out about our new gathering location and time. On
Saturday, April 16 @ 10am-2pm, we'll be serving the community and getting the word out at the Downtown Helena
Kids Spring Fest as we host free kids bounce houses, cotton candy, and popcorn. We've had
teams of missionaries come pray over and help clean up the grounds at the Pattern House. We'll also be walking the area, letting our neighbors know.
WHAT'S NEXT?
Our first event at the Pattern House will be a
Meet & Greet Concert Evening on
Friday, April 22 @ 6:30pm. There will be yummy food, tasty refreshments, and plenty of conversation. We're hoping to get to know you, and hoping you can get to know us better. There will also be a great musical guest,
Temple Veil.
Then,
Sunday, April 24 @ 11am will be our very first
Easter Morning gathering. Enjoy great live worship music, an engaging message, and a fun time for kids. Plus, we're having an awesome Egg Hunt for the kids and giving away the biggest Easter Basket ever!
