Come be encouraged as we lift our needs, hopes, and praises to the Lord together. You're welcome to pray aloud or simply join us in silent prayer.
JOIN OUR SUMMERFEST TEAM! SummerFest is a favorite tradition, and we're looking for a few people to help make it happen: organizing, being in the kitchen, setting up, running games, or tear down. No experience is needed, just a willingness to help create a fun, welcoming evening. If you're interested in helping, contact the church office or note it on a response card.
Thank you for helping us bless the Pregnancy Center !
