This month, our Kingdom Calling focus will feature our churchwide Baskets of Blessings outreach. What is Baskets of Blessings? It’s a way for us to connect with the hearts of unsaved moms in our midst. Check out the bulletin flyers on upcoming Sundays or click here to learn more!
Check out many opportunities below for ladies, missions, local outreach through Tree of Life, and don’t forget our second special baptism service a week from Sunday!
