Greetings!
I’m so excited about this new season! Spring is in the air and we now get to see people’s faces as mask mandates lift and we can interact with one another with more confidence. I’m excited that this also opens up more in-person ways we can support and come alongside our local outreach partners. I encourage you to prayerfully read through this list for opportunities for you, your family, or your life group to serve.
