This Saturday, June 20, at 5:30 pm, we will have a worship celebration service at the church.  This is not your normal church service- this is an hour long celebration of the life of God within us!  There will be music, scripture reading, prayer, and lots of joy, so beat the heat for an hour this weekend by fanning the Holy Spirit’s flame within you.  Bring along any friends who are hesitant about church because they don’t think it’s any fun, and remember this: rejoicing in the Lord is not a recommendation; it’s a command!  And one that we are happy to obey.

Open Gate Ministries is desperate for money donations– if you could donate $10.00 per month or what ever you can spare, it is a gift from God to them.  If you have it in your hearts to donate monthly as your budget allows, please do so (all donations are tax deductible).
