THIS WEEKEND

HEIFER PROJECT

Heifer’s mission is to work with communities to end hunger and poverty and care for the earth.   By giving families a hand-up, not just a hand-out, we empower them to turn lives of hunger and poverty into self reliance and hope.   A special collection is taken the fourth weekend of every month. 

BAPTISM AND RECEIVING OF NEW MEMBERS

Nathan DeHeer, Terri Carroll, and Quincy DeHeer.
