Collaborative Caring Community
This coming Sunday will wrap up the “First Things First” series with a “Collaborative Caring Community”. We are going to bring this series to crescendo at the Communion table. What a great way to unite our hearts as one as we remember oneness that God accomplished for us through the cross of Christ.
