ALWAYS REASONS TO CELEBRATE!
God’s grace, love is unconditional. The entire world experiences it finally and fully through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.
Last month, we celebrated with Tailgating Party, Tijuana Orphanage Trip, Summer Concerts, 90+Birthday Party, Year-Long Bible Study ending, and more. One of the important celebrations was the Ordination of Deacon Daneen Pysz (picture is on the left).
