37th ANNIVERSARY SUNDAY
Today we celebrate 37 years of God’s work in the life of our congregation and community. We praise Him for His faithfulness over the years and welcome all who have participated with us. May the Lord continue to draw others in and reveal Himself among us in the days to come. Thank you for being with us today! We pray that you will experience Christ’s love and faithful guidance as we worship and give Him thanks.
