Week of Compassion Special Offering 2025
HEARD AND SEEN

 Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just,
whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. 
Keep on doing the things that you have learned and received and
heard and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you. - Philippians 4:8-9


suggested offering dates : ​February 16 & 23, 2025
