Through the work of
the Holy Spirit we are renewed and motivated to use our talents to grow
in Christ
The first Tuesday of each month we gather to celebrate with those who have a
birthday that month enjoying a meal, cake and sometimes ice cream as well as
fellowship! It's a great time and the events have been popular. See
2007 parties.
