2012 Deacon Retreat

The Pastors and Deacons prepared 300 sandwiches and salads.


Serving the Men.

On February 4, the deacons set aside the day for their annual leadership retreat.  The day was focused on discipleship. Besides meeting at the church to work and develop a focused model of discipleship, they spent a good part of the day putting their faith into action by preparing and serving a meal at a men’s shelter in Cleveland.  It was a blessing to serve and talk with many of the 200 men at the shelter that day.

Operation Christmas Child

 What a blessing our church is! 285 shoe boxes were delivered to the glass walkway from various groups and individuals through out our church. As I was standing there trying to figure out how to rubber band some boxes, organize, and arrange the boxes for packaging into the shipping cartons by myself, a young man asked if he could help. Then another young man volunteered to help and before I knew it several others were helping and the job was done in less than an hour. Thanks to all those who helped.
