Recent Highlights & Updates
CHILI COOKOFF: Thank you to those who attended & participated in our church-wide Chili Cookoff on Sunday, November 18th! Thanks to your generosity, we were able to raise $250 for our Weekend Meal Ministries! As Pastor Tom taught us that weekend to not judge others by appearance, attendees were able to taste-test each chili & donate towards which one they thought was the best. Thank you to our Fellowship Committee, as well, for hosting this event!
CONGRATULATIONS! Congrats to all the children who received their First Communion on Sunday, Nov. 17th! They are: Lily Ahrens, Kenadee Gerstung, Sophie Garlanger, Ele Kinser, Caitlin Levato, Alexa Mayer, Lauren McQuiston, Mackenzie McQuiston, Nathan Miller, Jordan Otto, Lukas Schilf, Isaac Schneider, & Jackson Wakitsch
