TOWN HALL MEETING
Sunday, April 23rd at 9:15am in Fellowship Hall
Over the past two years, we have made a commitment to being a church that cares about the people outside of our walls. While that is a great goal, we feel that we could be more effective in striving towards this goal if we were more specific about which people we feel especially called to reach as a church.
