Give the World a Present! Coming Sunday, October 3, after worship in the Fellowship Hall. Gift Market Fairs “sell” food and income producing animals like goats, bees, chicks and heifers. The animals go to hungry, rural families working to improve their lives and are delivered with technical training in animal care and concern for the environment.

New Sermon Series

Three Simple Rules

Sermon Series- Three Simple Rules: Beginning September 5
If you are yearning to give yourself over to a more profound way of living your faith, a deeper way to be in relationship with God and people around you, we think you will find these three simple rules life-changing. We believe that if we comprehend them and practice them together, they can help lift us from the ruts that trap us in life and put us on the path of life which God intends for us.
