A New Life CommittedThe white rose in the front of the church represents Clay Blair’s new life in Christ. Last Sunday the salvation message was shared with our Promiseland Sunday School students and Clay decided to surrender his life to Christ after coming to understand Christ’s saving grace and redemptive power. Praise God for the seed he has planted in this young boy’s heart.

Hmong Coat DrivePlease help elementary students in need within the Hmong Community of Minneapolis. Many of them do not have enough winter clothing to stay warm, but you can help show Jesus’ love by giving them your gently used coats, boots, sweatshirts, or anything warm.

Sign-up deadline is November 28 so register now! You can sign-up in the church office with a non-refundable check. The cost is $68 for the first 10 registrations, $80 thereafter, so make sure you’re one of the first people signed-up! (You will need money for three other meals)
