Dear people of Rejoice,
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of your well wishes on last Sunday. I was so touched by every act of kindness that was shown to me. Thank you for your hand shakes, hugs, cards, gifts, cake, and presence! I, and my family, are so grateful for the time that we were able to share with you and will always continue to hold you in our thoughts and prayers. God is good, all the time!
Walk Wet,
Rev. Dr. Yolanda Denson-Byers, D.Min.

We’re looking for adults, five men and eight women for our thirteen eighth graders, who love kids, love Jesus, and will commit to a faith-building relationship with one eighth grade confirmation student for the 2018-19 school year.
Requirements include meeting with one student regularly (a couple times a month) from mid-October through early May, typically on Wednesday evenings, and making an effort to support that student in their walk with Christ. Extras include sending cards, praying for your student, meeting them at church, and finding ways to make them feel loved and accepted by the church as a whole!
If you are interested, please fill out a form on the Youth & Family table and place in the office drop box. Thank you and bless you for the difference you’ll make in a kid’s faith life!
