Men’s meeting
With the end of 2016 quickly approaching, it seems like a natural time to count
our blessings and reminisce about all God has done for us and with us over the
past year! Will you help tell our story? Our Annual Report is in the works, and
we're searching for articles, photos, reflections and God Sightings to include. If
you have anything you'd like to share with our faith community and/or praise
God for, here's your chance to do so! Please submit all materials to Amy at
[email protected] before January 6.
Thanks and God Bless!
