On Friday, October 9, two beautiful gold crosses were lifted into place atop our church domes, marking the completion of the roof. ✝️

What a joy it was to watch them rise! This milestone is possible because of the prayers, generosity, and hard work of our parish family and friends. Thank you to everyone who has given, volunteered, and kept this project in their prayers.

Our work isn't finished yet, and we trust that God will see it through. Please continue to pray for us and support the completion of our church home.
