Early this morning, one of our members had the unthinkable happen when a fire broke out in their home while everyone was asleep. Thankfully, her and her family, including 2 small children, were able to make it out of the house safely, but after the blaze was extinguished, the house is a total loss.

If you can, consider donating to help them with finding temporary housing and getting basic necessities after this horrific incident!

My friend and their family have always been there for our community, l… Jessica Jones needs your support for Help The Casteel family recover after house fire!

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends - John 15:13

This Memorial Day, take the time to remember all the heros who sacrificed their lives for us so that we can live free in the land that we love.

In the fields of Sharpsburg, to forests of Belleau Wood, the beaches of Normandy, the jungles of Vietnam, and so many more, we offer our utmost and sincere thank you to every American soldier who gave everything for us.
