For our latest Charity Month in January, we collected $200 in support of a crisis pregnancy center, ZOE for Life.
Thank you for your donations.
Next Charity Month will be in April.

The Bible Study is available both for in-person attendance and online via Google Meet.

Join our online Book Study group, which meets every other week on Fridays at 8pm.
Right now we are reading a book by Rod Dreher "The Benedict Option, a strategy for Christians in a post-Christian nation."
A very timely book for everything that's going on in the society right now.
We meet via Google Meet; therefore, reply to this email to get the meeting link.
God wills that our prayers should not simply be requests, but thanksgivings too for what we have. For how should we ask for future things, if we are not thankful for the past?
- Saint John Chrysostom
