Bring your Compassion Cards Back!
Return cards from last week during service
New cards given this week
As apart of our new Sermon Series "Being Compassionate", Pastor Leo challenged our congregation to complete a compassion card that was given out last week. Each card had one of several different situations that real people in our community are facing; the challenge was to empathize and answer the questions.
If you participated in that activity, please bring back your card this week. Pastor Leo would like to see some of your anonymous answers and use them as refernce in a future sermon during this series. We will have new cards with different situations each week.
If you didn't get a card, you can pick one up next Sunday or any day during the week in the church office.
