Greetings Church Family:
I AM so looking forward to our gathering together, whether it's on a Sunday morning or sometime in the middle of the week. The atmosphere of love and encouragement that everyone engages in is beyond what words can express. I pray that everyone is doing well and enjoying their time with the Lord throughout the week. Here are some announcements for the month of April.
