Thank You
Thank you to everyone who sent messages of sympathy and care to my family. Your support and prayers following the unexpected death of my uncle have been a gift. It is during such difficult times that the blessing of a loving faith community is truly known. Words cannot express my gratitude for your caring.
Peace,
Pastor Jennie

Happy Summer!
As school is dismissed (last full day of the school year for our District 81 students), we will be serving otter pops on the church grounds to the students from Hamblen Elementary. We are reaching out to them as their loving neighbors, celebrating the conclusion of this unique school year.
Any students who stop by will receive an otter pop. If your child attends another school, bring them by for a treat. We will have a low carb option for Type 1 kids, so they are welcome to receive a treat too. We'll be serving on Monday, June 21, 2pm to 2:45. Come celebrate with us!
