people grow in their walk with Jesus. We are hoping to once again do a week at Pine Valley in June as well as our Summer Fun nights with the neighborhood children throughout the summer. Keep us in prayer as we serve in these uncertain times. Our Lord is never uncertain; He can be trusted.
The holidays were a time to help our families by way of Holiday Food Boxes as well as helping with over 150 + Christmas presents. On December 6, we hosted an “ outdoor nativity “ in our Sonshine lot to share the true meaning of Christmas to our families and our neighborhood. Inside, each family was able to take a family photo, which we printed and delivered for Christmas in a frame, and receive a gift of baked homemade cookies.
