Let us join with you in prayers of concern and joy. We will get it out to our community for prayer. This will strengthen, comfort, and connect us as we write our heart's journeys, read through other's needs, and pray together to our loving and faithful God Almighty. It's our time to rise up and connect through our prayers! What a witness in itself it shall be...

Children & Youth Ministry

We celebrated Mother's Day with Hershey's Kisses to all the spiritual mothers in our faith family. In Sunday School, we painted glass votives and put tea lights in them to gift to our moms. And pictured below is our game of "That's My Kid!" where we put moms on the hot seat guessing what their child said to various questions. It was a hysterical time, and we got to know our moms even better!

They've shared that the meals have been delicious & so helpful during Randy's treatment. One thing that they've forgotten to mention is that they are both diabetic. Although they enjoy dessert, they aren't able to eat much. There are a few different options to select from. Please click the link below to view the details and options or to participate.
