On October 9th our ENTIRE congregation will have the opportunity to engage in hands-on mission in our community and the surrounding area.  We want to extend God’s love in tangible, practical ways.  We will gather in the sanctuary at 10:00 am for a brief service of Praise, Prayer and Commissioning.  Then we will go forth to serve!!
