CHRIST'S RESURRECTION!
A few months ago, the faith formation committee decided they wanted to showcase the youth and adult events in our church. This was done through a collage photo frame. It shows many photos from the past few years, of VBS, ZYC, Sunday school, SHF, church clean-up days, and many other events. This past week it was hung up on the wall by the church office, for all to see and enjoy. We invite everyone to check it out and take a look!
