Traveling Tiny Jesus
Pick up a tiny Jesus or two today on your way out of worship and take Him with you as you travel through life! If you go on vacation, place Him in your photo! Let us see the places you visit! (Truthfully, don’t we always want to have Jesus by our side?)
Share your photos with Carolyn and we will share them here!

Interested in helping to feed some folks during the Holidays? Let’s support the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank as they undertake a Food Drive beginning Wed. Nov. 16 and running until Dec 14. Bring non-perishables to the Welcome Center to support the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank. Most-needed items include peanut butter, canned meats/veggies/fruit, beans, pasta/rice, and low-sodium soups. These donations support families during the holidays, especially in a year when supplies are already strained before the season begins.
Let’s make a difference!
