EDUCATION DAY
Our annual Education Sunday is Sunday, September 19th. We thank God for the opportunity to celebrate education and the ways it empowers and enriches our lives. Proverbs 4:13 says, “Keep hold of instruction; do not let go; guard her, for she is your life.” (ESV) On that day all members are asked to donate $25 to the Scholarship ministry to help fund future scholarships for our children. Please join us on this important day.
