Local Church Activities
Prayer meeting
is held in the church foyer on Monday at 2 pm.
Everyone is welcome to join. Please do not stay away because you don’t feel comfortable praying
aloud, there is no pressure or expectation. Silent prayer can be just as powerful as audible prayer.

are our usual clients. For a small $9:00 donation or free to those in need, fresh homemade soup,
fresh sandwiches, a small homemade treat, and endless tea or coffee are served.
