Good morning everyone. We hope this newsletter find you well. If it doesn't, know that you are in our prayers and in God's hands. May you have the serenity to accept the things you cannot change, and the courage to change the things you can.
Here is what's happening in the life of our church.
| | |
On November 1, we begin our stewardship campaign, Made for This Moment: Faithful now. Hopeful forward. Through November 22, we will explore what it means to offer God our prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness—and how these commitments shape our life together.
