Hello Church,
Wow! What a month it has been. In case you didn’t realize or wonder about…. Your Youth and its leaders are AMAZING! Please come to worship this Sunday to hear about the Mission Trip they were on and all the stories and memories that were made. I am still moved to tears by their work and love in the world for Jesus’ sake!! If I brought back your air mattresses, they are in the breezeway at church. (between sanctuary and fellowship hall)
