Senior Recognition Sunday
On April 26, our congregation celebrated graduating seniors Steven Antisan, Madison Eichelberger, Rem (Corinne) Nguyen, and Elyse Savoie during worship services. Youth participants led both services, and the seniors were recognized during the 11 a.m. service. The congregation gave thanks for their accomplishments and offered prayers for God’s guidance as they begin the next chapter of their lives.

Kids Hope News
Kids Hope celebrated National Arbor Day and Love the Boot Week by handing out 71 laurel oak saplings donated by the National Forestry Program. Students who signed up to participate were excited to take their trees home to plant, and a few were even planted on campus.
A big thank you to Kay Willson, Doreen Maxcy, Carol Lewis, and Emma Burke for helping out.
