Hello everyone!
Happy Birthday to John Wesley who was born June 28, 1703! I thought you'd like to be aware of this one. Happy Birthday, John Wesley.
Please take the time to read our E-Blast with Church news and opportunities for service below!
A Church Directory Update is coming! We have been working on updating our paper directory! On Sunday morning for the next few Sundays, we will pass around the latest edition and ask you to verify the information that we have for you and your family. ~OR~ Feel free to contact the office mid-week. The next edition paper Directory should be published in early July.
Blessings, Pastor Mary

Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. ~ Philippians 4: 6-7 |

1 Corinthians 15: 58 Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
We're getting the band back together!
Thank you so much for your support and interest in our Men's Prayer Breakfasts! We have had great time of fellowship, great food, learned and were inspired along the way.
We will take a break in June and July and work our schedules to get us going again for the next year!
If you have ideas, know of a speaker you would like to hear, or would like to be involved in planning and communicating... please contact Pastor Mary! |
