beginning to look a little worn around the edges
from hosting all the events it has seen. We have
an account set up for any contributions toward
the goal of 5,000 (present total 428.00) to
pay for this face-lift. Anyone wishing to
contribute should mark their gift with account

to the office. We look forward to bright, fresh
rooms in the FH. SPROUTS This years SPROUTS
group will begin meeting on Sunday afternoons

is a children's ministry for 3rd - 5th graders
who want to help one another grow in their faith
in Jesus Christ. We meet weekly for 2 months to
support one another and hold one another
accountable as Christian disciples. We also enjoy
a large group time when we focus on a justice
issue. This year we anticipate taking on the
justice issue of world hunger.  I would love to
have 100 participation from our 3rd - 5th
graders. Please prayerfully consider this
opportunity and sign your child up below. If you
have any questions, please call the church
