Conversation on In-Person Worship
Want to know more about what it takes to come back to in-person worship? Check out this conversation with Dr. Steve Mueller, Keelee Allen, Matt Sanders and Pastor Brady Johnston. The purpose of the video is to help you understand the factors the task force is considering as we look at gathering back together for in-person worship. 
Food4Kids
A Midlothian school counselor approached our Food4kids committee about helping three families that were in need. Two families of four and one family of five need supplemental food for the summer. Due to the generous donations Food4kids has received from the church throughout the year, we were able to meet the needs of these three families. Here is a photo of the donation ready for delivery. Each family also received a gift card for perishable grocery items. Thank you for being the church in a time of need. For more information about our Food4Kids program, go to our webpage at Food4Kids.

Blessings to you all,
