Let me begin with more encouraging news for us as a church (I last shared that we have a lease for a new location! Save the date - we will have an Open House after second service on September 8th!). More immediate than a coming new location is in regard to a new Children’s Ministry Director and two new Leads! We now have a dedicated Children's Director! Welcome Danica Henry to this new role!

God would guide His people, the Israelites, through the desert with a pillar of cloud by day and a fire by night over the tabernacle.

We have two challenges that you may be a part of helping in. Here is the first one… we’ve been growing with people. If you are a regular attender you have noticed it.
