Prison Ministry Update
“When I get in these studies - read my Bible - God comes to me and I clearly both see and hear what He has for me. How I ever let myself get in this position… But God, God says “He knows.” The more I suffer, the closer I get to Him. And somehow, I see that this is all part of a greater Plan,” Stephanie A.
Finance update
Due to the wonderful stewardship and giving by you, our church family, we have almost reached our 2025 Church Budget. As of December 6, we need just $30,954 to keep the finances of God's house in balance. As we think about gifts this Christmas and remember that Jesus gave each of us the gift of Salvation at infinite cost to Himself, let's make sure our gifts to Him keep the bills at His house paid.
