Join us next Thursday at 10:30 a.m. for Thanksgiving Day Worship, a special service where we can pause as a church family and give glory to God for his gracious provision over another year. We'll also have the opportunity to bless others by participating in our annual Disaster Relief Fund Offering. See below for more information on the fund, as well as other events during Advent, including the Women's Christmas Dessert and the Mission DMV Toy Drive.
