Faith in Action Projects!!!

Well, it's finally here: The list of projects that our church will be participating in for Faith in Action Day. Feel free to contact me for any additional information you need. You can sign up for any of these projects on our website main page, or in Bible study departments, or in the narthex as you come to worship service.

Home repair project

We will help some of our neighbors with light household repairs. For more information, contact Paul or Becky Brown.
