Community Food Drive We will be supporting the Community Food Drive sponsered by the Mission Chamber of Commerce. Bring non-perishable items with you to church, or any time during the week, and we will see how full we can get the area around the altar before we deliver everything to the Mission Event Center the last week of May.Let’s see if we can get so much that Pastor Bill can’t get to the pulpit!

Do you have old Upper Rooms? How about Daily Breads? Any other devotionals? Folks at the Salvation Army are in need of them to help them with their journeys to the Lord. A basket has been placed in the Welcome Center for you to put them in.
