A Thank You from the Soccer Ministry
Our Tuesday night Soccer ministry is saying a huge thank you to the church family for the new lights that were purchased. The lights have increased the number of people who attend each week and led to further development of relationships with those using the field; especially among those who don’t know Christ yet.
