Be Encouraged...
A husband couldn’t hide his tears when his wife surprised him with a painting of their wedding which included his late grandparents who had raised him but died before the big day. Ahead of the couple’s two-year anniversary, Jessica started thinking of ideas for how she could surprise her husband with a unique gift. She knew how much Paul had wanted Joao and Irene to attend his wedding, and so she Paul’s favorite wedding photo and looked for a way to add them into it.

January Book Study - Me & White Supremacy
We have much to learn about racism in our contemporary society. And much to learn about our personal bias around race.  Kris Boyle invites you to join her in a study and conversation using the the book Me and White Supremacy.  She will facilitate a 6 week study, beginning January 6th. The plan will be to gather in person at church, safely distanced and masked, 4:30-6:00 p.m. on Wednesday's. She has facilitated this discussion elsewhere and learned 10 participants at a time is best. If there is interest, the study may be repeated. Feel free to call with questions. Kris Boyle (248-8719). Click here to register for the book study.
