What does it mean to be called to the corner of Iredell and Perry streets? On Wednesdays, Oct. 8 and 15, we’ll discuss how the Lord has guided Blacknall for more than 100 years in this location and how that history will shape our planning for the future.

Toward the end of 2026, we’ll begin a construction project to replace our sanctuary roof structure. Until then, we’ll continue to meet as we always do — architects and engineers have said we can use the space as normal. However, well ahead of when any restoration begins, we want to come together for two Church Family Dinners that will give us time to share information and reflect on this once-in-a-century opportunity to reaffirm our calling to this place. 

We’ll meet from 5:30 - 8 p.m. both evenings, with dinner and fellowship from 5:30–6:45 p.m. Childcare is available for babies and children through grade 5 — register here.

• On Oct. 8, we’ll begin an information session at 7 p.m. to talk about the process that led to the hiring of an architect. We’ll get to hear from Paul Young, president of DTW Architects & Planners, the firm hired by the Session for this work.

• On Oct. 15, we’ll recap the previous session at 7 p.m. before spending time in group prayer, discussion, and discernment about what it means to be a faithful witness and good neighbor in our location.

• If you can’t attend on Oct. 8 or 15, information and an FAQ will be posted online and shared via email.

All are welcome and encouraged to join. The cost of dinner is $10 per person or $30 per family, with the option of paying for both Church Family Dinners at once. Scholarships to cover food costs are available as needed — email the Church Office for more information or with any questions.
