In the same region there were some shepherds staying out in the fields and keeping watch over their flock at night. And an angel of the Lord suddenly stood near them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were terribly frightened. And so the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. — Luke 2:8-11 (NASV)

Automatic Contributions

We have had several inquiries about receiving automatic contributions for offerings. Some of our members have decided to use this method to schedule their weekly, semi-weekly, monthly, etc. offerings. One member is using automatic withdrawal so that she isn’t bothered writing a check every week. Another couple uses this method when they are out of […]

Hurricane Sandy Mission Trip

Once more, we are going to serve others “right in our own backyard”. Our mission trip will again take us to Lakewood Township where cleanup efforts are still woefully inadequate.
