Bridging the Gap Campaign

We have thrilling news to share with you all – we’ve successfully achieved our fundraising goal! Our final total was $25,140! This incredible milestone wouldn’t have been possible without the unwavering support and generosity of each and every one of you. Your contributions, enthusiasm, and belief in our mission have truly made a difference. Together, we’ve proven that with a united community, anything is possible. Special thanks to the members of our Campaign Committee who worked tirelessly to help us succeed - Wes, Karen, Mary, Crystal, Rhonda, Sherrie, and Charlie.

O God, our times are in your hand: Look with favor, we pray, on your servants as they begin another year. Grant that they may grow in wisdom and grace, and strengthen their trust in your goodness all the days of their lives; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

For those celebrating an anniversary.

O gracious and everliving God, look mercifully upon your servants who come to renew the promises they have made to each other. Grant them your blessing, and assist them with your grace, that with true fidelity and steadfast love they may honor and keep their promises and vows; through Jesus Christ our Savior, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Please let the office know if your birthday or anniversary has been missed, so that we may add the date to our records.
