Council asks the congregation to pray that in the midst of chaos, we listen for God's voice to guide and comfort us and all of God's people.
Giving Tree! The Giving Tree is up for gifts for the children at Erie County Childrens Services to help foster children. Take a name, or two and their wish list is listed on the tag. Wrap the gifts (or Faith Life) can wrap them for you. Please attach the tag so we know who the gifts are for. Please return to the church by Sunday, December 3rd.
