During this season, where we remember and celebrate the One who was sent into the hurt and brokenness of our world, we invite you to join us as we follow in Christ’s footsteps, moving towards those who are suffering to share the Good News of God with us.
If you have some free time over the holidays, consider joining us or one of our Ministry Partners at the following events where we might share the Good News in our city. No free time? Consider helping our Ministry Partners by gifting them some much-needed items.
