The Worship Commission is planning a fellowship evening tonight, Jan. 29 at 6:00 PM.  Representatives from Hope United will be here to share about their organization.  The purpose of Hope United is to unite churches and organizations to provide resources and programs that will aid in true transformation for individuals who find themselves in cycles of brokenness. Three of their services are Amanda's House, Mentoring, and Restored Hope Furniture.  We will have a time of fellowship after they share.  Please bring snacks to share.
