In this season of Hope, Council asks the congregation to pray that all people remain united in sharing with those suffering from unimaginable loss due to wildfires and severe weather, that we patiently help those struggling with day-to-day issues, and that we refocus and recommit to God’s word and work at our Annual Congregational Meeting.
