Dear Church Family,
As many of you may already know, our building has nearly burnt down today, 06/09/2018. We are truly blessed that no one was injured or in the building at the time. Even though our building has gone, our church family is still alive and well and are very excited to see what God has in store for us. Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is Good! For His mercy endures forever. ~ Psalms 136:1
Thank you to all of the firefighters and support teams that worked hard to put out the fire. We also thank everyone for their prayers and support.
Several of the church members will be there in the morning (06/10/2018 @9:45 am) for prayer and fellowship, you are more than welcome to join. Note: Since there is no building, we will be meeting on the church grounds. Don't forget to bring your umbrella if you decide to come out.
Updates will be posted here. Let the rebuilding begin!
