JOIN US FOR 9:00 am WORSHIP, Sunday June 24th
Indoors Traditional with Pastor Grant
Gentle Reader,
Chaos. It's out there and within each one of us. Hovering just below the surface or just beyond the horizon, we all live with some chaos in our lives, and the very real fear that it could overwhelm us. Chaos is an ever present but so is Christ. Come this Sunday and hear two stories how Jesus met the chaos and transformed it and still transforms it today for you and for me. It might just change your life.

Tuesday, June 26th starting at 9:00 am
Please come and donate blood if you can. Here's a good reason why:
Shannon, the lady who runs this program told me on the phone the other day just how important it is to give blood right here in our own communities. Her 6-year-old nephew has been dealing with leukemia for almost 2-years now. He needed new blood and platelets. The family was told he would have to wait. There wasn't enough platelets to give to little Grayden. After one week, Grayden got worse. Thank God someone gave so Grayden could then get what he needed to improve his cancer situation.
GIVE. GIVE AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE. GIVE AND SAVE A LIFE!
