Sign Fund

It will also be used to repaint the signs on the buses. Thank you for donating to this fund.

We have a Prayer Wall that is available to add your prayer requests to. It is also for anyone who would like to pray for the requests that are on the wall.

Your ministers and staff will also take turns praying over the Prayer Wall. Please join us.
