during September will go to the Salvation Army.
Affirmation for the proposed 2021 church
budget will be on Sept. 12.
Starting in September we will begin to celebrate the ways
in which God is working in our lives. The first Sunday of every month we will
be offering people the opportunity to share a testimony and praise report
during the morning worship with the entire body. This is a way in which we can
celebrate the ways in which God is moving in our lives and community.
