ANSWERED PRAYER - KITCHEN MINISTRIES COORDINATOR
This week we were able to hire a much-anticipated kitchen ministries coordinator. Christin Murphy brings a wealth of catering knowledge and organizational skills, which will serve her well as she steps into this position. We are so excited to welcome Christin in this role, and we are looking forward to sharing a fellowship meal as a church soon. Christin and Brandon are regular attenders, along with their son, Zeke. Thank you for your faithful prayers over the past 2 years and praise the Lord for this provision.
