$20,000. That’s how much our congregation spent last year (not including pastor’s salary) on outreach both here and through our synod. What did that $20,000 accomplish?

Worship 5 Series

Contributed by Clyde White on Sep 9, 2005

Developing A Life Of Prayer

Contributed by Brad Bailey on Sep 22, 2006

So it shouldn’t surprise us what we find the disciples of Jesus coming to him about in Matthew 6. They might have asked ...read more
