Missions Spotlight
Dear Congregation,

Over the coming months Pastor Doug Ashley and myself on behalf of the Missions and Outreach committee will be scheduling meetings with our local mission partners and other potential organizations to listen to what God has to tell us about the work going on in our community. We are blessed as a church body to support our local community, and wanted to take the opportunity to relay the feedback and observations we received.
 
With just one visit in I think I can say we were overwhelmed with God’s grace and the reconciliation that he provides the House of Hope. Many of you have served a meal there and have seen the wonderful work that goes on. Like many things, Covid-19 has changed a lot about how things work there.
