›KUDOS 412!! The youth of this church are amazing! Why? Among other reasons, they have recently donated a Trio of Rabbits, a Heifer, a Flock of Chicks, a Flock of Ducks, a Flock of Geese, a Goat, a Sheep, Honeybees, and a Pig to the Heifer Project by tithing 10% of everything they've raised as a youth group. Heifer Project teaches poor and hungry people to farm these animals and make a living from them, as well as having them pass on offspring and teach another. Great job 412!! You are truly heroes.

›A CHILD'S GARDEN HAS CLOSED. - A Child's Garden has been a blessing in our midst, providing opportunity for Mission and Service. After much deliberation, December 16th was chosen as the closing date of A Child's Garden. As a church community, we will miss the laughter and cries of the children, their happy faces parading through the halls in their Halloween costumes seeking candy and treats! We thank Jill Auerbach, Members of the Board, and Teachers who tenderly and devotedly offered their gifts to His chidlren. With deep and sincere appreciation, we say. THANK YOU!!
