one another's burdens, in that way you will fulfill the law of Christ"
(Gal 5:13, 6:2). we have a duty as Christians to strive for
reconciliation and unity, show compassion, and joyfully serve those less
fortunate.
Ministry Opportunities

with financial or other help. Please contact us if you'd like to help with a
service project or donate to Back to School or Christmas gift drives.
