Exciting Upcoming Events
Conclusion of Capital Campaign
Our building campaign, Making Space to Share, is drawing to a close in three weeks! Three years ago we stepped out in faith and heard the calling to extend the parish hall, add handicap accessible bathrooms,design choir practice space, and create a new kitchen. We don’t worship buildings; we worship the Lord, by offering space to grow our ministries. Ministries are now growing and for every dollar that pays down the debt, funds become available for ministry work. Please prayerfully consider, “Lord, what would you have me do?” when this commitment draws to an end on June 2. A special luncheon will be held in thanksgiving of your gifts on June 9, at 11:45 am. Save the date!
