We have so many amazing people who serve our church with such love and devotion! We will recognize them during our weekly Sunday Service with a Sunday Shoutout! The recipient(s) will be asked to stand and remain standing for our Unity Blessing. The congregation recites the Unity Blessing: "Friends, We love you. We bless you. We appreciate you. We behold the Christ in you."
There are many opportunities for you to say "yes" to what is yours to do. Please click here to find out more about Sacred Service, our teams, and what they do.
If you would like to recommend someone or a sacred service group, please contact Susan Armstrong at srarm@sbcglobal.net. A special shoutout to Susan Armstrong for implementing and leading our Sunday Shoutout campaign!
