Fighter Verses-- We will continue the Fighter Verses Scripture Memory program this year.  Make sure to pick up a 2025 Bookmark which gives tips for Scripture memory and our verse for each week.  Memorizing Scripture is a great way to deepen your faith and grow in your discipleship in the new year.  

If you are using the church, please remember to turn lights off and lock doors as you leave.  Thank you!
