How Will You Step UP! this Year?Step Up! 2012 is our year-long emphasis of five core practices that lead to a stronger faith and a more vibrant church. These practices include: worship, connect, invite, serve and give.

Step Up to GiveYou stepped up to give a total of $2,574.14 to our January Communion Offering which benefited Room in the Inn .

The February Communion Offering (February 4/5) will benefit Faith Family Medical Clinic and Siloam Family Medical Clinic. These local clinics provide healthcare for the working poor and the uninsured. Perhaps you’d like to consider giving up a little luxury like your daily mocha latte or a weekly lunch out and save that money to give towards the commu-nion offering each month. If everyone steps up a little bit, we’ll take a giant step together!
