1st Saturdays of the Month
This Summer, we will continue to offer a church-wide serving opportunity on the first Saturday of each month. We will have three available for you to choose from, and you can do the same one each time or try a different one each month. Each experience will train and equip us as a church family (adults and children) to serve together in simple, yet impactful ways.
As we continue to serve our community together, we fully expect God to open doors to pray for people and organizations, share the gospel with non-believers, and empower believers with timely encouragement. We also expect God to increase our own faith and boldness to step out and do things for Him in our everyday lives.
