We’ll be celebrating this year’s “Week of Thankfulness” from November 20-22, starting at 5pm each day. Each day, we’ll have a special dinner and giveaways for our clients. This event is more than just a gathering; it’s an opportunity to show our neighbors that they are loved and cared for. We’ll rejoice with them as we thank the Lord for all He is doing in their individual lives.

Our annual Christmas Gala will be held on Thursday, December 8 at 6PM. You're invited to join us for an evening of fellowship with great company, dinner, a special message, an extraordinary silent auction featuring art and experiences, and more!
