Second Harvest will be here at our church distributing food on Friday, September 18th at 10:00am.
Thank you!
As this month comes to a close, we want to express our gratitude to the teachers who will be stepping out of their roles. Thank you for your dedication, love and the countless ways you’ve invested in our children and adults. We are also grateful for the new teachers stepping in to serve.
Our church has been blessed for generations with wonderful teachers and volunteers.
May God bless all our teachers and volunteers for your faithful service.
Remember in Prayer…our students, teachers, & staff as they go back to school/college.
We pray that 2026-2027 is a wonderful, safe, and joy‑filled year for everyone. May students and adults alike let their light shine brightly for Christ in every place He leads them. May God bless you and keep you, and may His love guide your steps throughout the year.
We declare the words of Jeremiah for each one…“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11
Welcome Little Ones!
