Update from Your Pastoral
& Congregational Care Team
"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in our distress.
Therefore, we will fear nothing, even if the earth gives way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
even if the waters roar and foam
and the mountains tumble with their surging.
God is our refuge and strength."
~Psalm 46:1-3
We ask everyone to join us in prayer for:
