God Bless You Cassie as you journey away from us. You have been a blessing and we know that God has a special plan and purpose for you! Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm and gift of music. God be with you!
 
Getting to Know Jesus – Tres Dias weekends are coming up! Men’s weekend May 18-21 and Women’s weekend June 1-4. Many of our members have participated and it has changed their lives. See Pastor Barbara for information.

Congratulations Church!! – What an outstanding effort you have put forth for Days for Girls ($552) and Raise the Roof Orphanage Project ($150).  Good Job.  What does it mean?  It means that you have kept 26 girls in school for 3 years.  You have also contributed 3 sheets of tin roofing (with a matching 3) of the 80 sheets needed to complete the roof to house orphans.  What a blessing!
 
Days for Girls –is an organization that provides quality sustainable feminine hygiene kits and education to girls and women in over 75 countries to help reverse the cycle of poverty.  Activities include sewing, ironing, folding, snapping, prepping, etc. Fabric donations are also appreciated.
