Stories of Hope
*Several families from our adopted neighborhood, Hillside, have been attending our outreach events and are hearing the Gospel.
*One of these families is attending worship services weekly and came forward for prayer this past Sunday.
*God is adding to our staff! Justin Saurer joined our staff as the part-time Care Pastor in November.
*Our Children’s Ministry is exploding. Our average attendance has recently risen to 25 in classes. We have 4 classes for birth – 8th grade, and the kids are learning and growing in the Lord.
