Have a great weekend!
This is The Daily for Fri, Sep 11, 2026. It’s Hoco weekend in Lebanon! As you get hyped for the big game, the dance and time with friends, think about what “Homecoming” actually means.
It’s all about returning to where you belong and celebrating with your community.
In faith, we have the ultimate homecoming. No matter how far we wander or how messy life gets, God is always waiting with open arms to welcome us back home. Always. Let the party begin!
Love you guys – Have a safe, fun and blessed weekend!
