Youth Group Sunday 4-6 WFH/Youth Room
This weekend begins a new preaching series entitled: Soul Detox. We will look at themes that shed light on relationships, thoughts, and behaviors that quietly compromise our well-being. This five-week church series is designed to help people get free from all the toxins that weigh down their souls and to become even more committed to Christ.
THANK YOU
I would like to thank the United Methodist Church and the Almost Free Shop for their wonderful prayers, cards and calls during my recent surgery. They were all very much appreciated. We truly felt the support of your Christian love. God Bless You Darlene Rose
