Please remember to be faithful stewards and take care of your tithes and offering to our church. We have several ways in which to do so, but why not try something different at least one time. Since many of us have been away from the church for so long, just drive out to the church and bring your tithes and offering and put it in our secured mailbox. It?s nothing like coming on the church grounds; it gives you a different feeling. Come meditate and say a prayer. Yes, you can do this anywhere, but come to the church, sit in your vehicle, or in our picnic area, or our Place of Healing , but just step foot on the grounds, and pay your church a visit; and see how you feel, you?ll be glad that you did.
