Preparing to Serve

 

A HUGE thank you to all who came out to help the Bolivia Medical Mission Team get supplies ready to go! The job went faster than anticipated, because of the many hands....a wonderful example of how no team goes alone, but takes with them all of those whose hearts, prayers, and assistance are with them every step of the way!


THANK YOU!

Ryan Hendrick, leader

Janis Collins, co-leader

Pentecost - June 8, 2025

Acts 2 tells us the story of the birth of the church, born in chaos and crisis, with wind and flame.  The fearful disciples went forth empowered by the Spirit to share the good news.  How do we continue to share good news, with confidence and not fear? 


Prepare for worship by reading this week's Scripture passages: Romans 8:14-17 and Acts 2:1-21
