August Calendar
Gilead House
The Missions Committee, with the help of the congregation, has agreed to support the efforts of Gilead House. The mission of ‘Gilead’ is to provide a home suited to the special needs of the elderly with a caring staff to assist, protect, and promote the maximum quality of life. Our own Ardis Cazeno is on the board of directors. There is a wish list on the bulletin board and copies located in the Narthex. If you are able to contribute towards this cause, please contact the church office.
Thank you for your prayers and support in this effort.
