Contributed by John Kapteyn on Oct 18, 2000

In this coming year we hope to work well together as a church in the tasks to proclaim Christ and to worship Him. Before we can do so as a church, we as individuals need to be transformed by the renewing of our minds.

Jesus Calls Us Into His Mission

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on May 19, 2007
