Youth Group Meals
Our Youth Group is growing and one of the ways we encourage them is by providing a meal each Sunday evening.  If you can bless the youth with a meal, please sign up in the Narthex, and plan for 20-25 people (one is dairy free).  Thank you!

January Missions Moment
Our featured January missionaries are Frank and Cindy Sindler. Frank serves as the Director of Equipping Farmers International, an amazing MTW partner mission. EFI’s approach offers majority world churches the possibility of becoming financially independent. The conservation agriculture-based trainings equip church leaders to disciple their members to practice fruitful stewardship of their land and resources. With just a portion of their land, church members can become food secure and financially stable in such a way that the church can support its own pastor and even achieve community outreach goals.
