Christmas Store Thank You Special thanks to everyone who participated in the Christmas Store. If you volunteered
to wrap gifts, help families shop, or carry packages to the car, you were such a blessing! If you donated items or funds, thanks for bringing joy to a child! God
showered this ministry with so many blessings and in ways we could never have imagined ... 105 families, 300 children experienced God's love and grace because of
your generosity. THANK YOU!
The start of a new year is the perfect time to evaluate and make "alignments." Aligning our priorities with God's. Aligning our calendars to support a healthy lifestyle. Aligning our expectations with reality in our relationships. Aligning our goals in the area of health, habits and lifestyle. In this series we will discover some alignments that may be due... and that could have significant, positive impact on our lives.
