We will pass on more details when information is available.

“Somebody Loves You Banquet”
26 of our members age 50 and over attended the “Somebody Loves You Banquet” last Sunday. The food was delicious, the decorations were beautiful and the children did a great job in preparing and serving the meal. Several of our young men read scripture and led prayers. All of the children sang songs. Thanks to all the adults and all of our wonderful children who worked so hard in this effort. Everyone appreciated the love and honor shown to them.

God’s Word

Heb 4:1-2 NKJV

“4:1 Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it.

2 For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it.”
