October Announcements
Greetings Church Family:
I’d like to start by saying how deeply thankful I am to God for the opportunity to serve alongside such a remarkable group of men and women here at our church. Your heart for ministry and willingness to give of yourselves speaks powerfully—not just to me, but to everyone who crosses our path. It’s truly uplifting to witness how your acts of service strengthen our church family and leave a meaningful impression on first-time visitors. God’s goodness is constant and unwavering. Here are some important announcements and updates for the month of October:
