Look at her go, riding that therapy “bike”!

Tamara Snider

Your notes of encouragement bring her such joy! 

CARL’S COMING HOME on Monday, Dec. 18th!

Carl’s 26 years of incarceration are coming to a close, but his journey towards a new life is just beginning.

Join Pastor Ann-Louise in welcoming him home on Monday – we expect him to arrive at the church office (2649 W. 21st St) around 1pm. 

UPCOMING EVENTS

This week we’ll have a special presentation by

Prayer requests are also welcomed!

Christmas Eve is on a Sunday this year –
so our Sunday morning service on the 24th will do double-duty!

Even if you’re traveling for the holidays, you can join in, since this service will be offered only on Zoom.
