MONDAY’S HERE
Praise the Lord for an absolutely incredible Sunday of worship and ministry. Ben’s message was especially powerful, and he asked some really good questions to help us ponder how central Christ is to our lives:
- What do you think about when you relax?
- Who or what controls you?
- What are you living for?
- Who are you trying to please?

We also celebrated our coffee ministry! Watch the video below to see how our partnership with farmers in Ethiopia is blessing a community:
