At our luncheon each month we have a mission opportunity. This is a way for us to be of service both in our church and community. Please check the most current newsletter for this month's opportunity.

Once a month we get on the church bus and go somewhere fun and educational. It could be a museum, safari park, Lenten luncheon series, theatre, outdoor concert or a combination of these. We also have a meal out together when we go. Just check the most current newsletter for information.
