Our team is honored to be serving in Honduras alongside Centro Cristiano de Servicios Humanitarios de Honduras, a ministry dedicated to sharing hope and meeting the needs of communities through Christ-centered service. Founded in 1997 by missionaries Dr. Douglas Perry and his wife Maxine Perry, along with Reverend Daniel Castro and his wife Ruth de Castro, this ministry has faithfully impacted countless lives through compassion, faith, and humanitarian outreach.

Through our partnership, we are blessed to support their outreach efforts by helping provide resources, encouragement, and hands-on assistance as they share the love of Christ with families and communities throughout Honduras. Together, we are working to meet both physical and spiritual needs, building relationships and creating opportunities to share God's hope. Please keep our team, the ministry, and the people they serve in your prayers this week.

🎓💛 Looking at these photo, it’s hard not to feel a little emotional.
These seniors are pictured here at our Senior Retreat. And now, they’re preparing to step into a new chapter as they head off to college.
While so much is changing, one thing remains true: they are deeply loved, supported, and never alone. We are so proud of each of them and grateful to have been part of their journey.
Please keep our seniors in your prayers as they prepare for what’s next. ✨

👶💭 Before the meetings, ministry, and Sunday mornings… there was this little face. 😄
It’s time for another round of Guess the Staff!
Who do you think this baby grew up to be?

🌿🌊 Day 1 of Rainforest Falls VBS is in the books! 🌊🌿
What an incredible start to our adventure! Today, our explorers journeyed into Rainforest Falls, discovering God's love through exciting games, creative activities, uplifting music, engaging Bible lessons, and lots of laughter along the way.
The energy was high, the smiles were everywhere, and we can't wait to see what God has in store for the rest of the week!
Thank you to our amazing volunteers, leaders, and families who helped make Day 1 such a success. 💚
Who's ready for Day 2? 🙌

⏪ Sermon Rewind ⏪
This Sunday, we were reminded of a powerful truth: You can belong here before you believe.
Jesus welcomed people before they had all the answers. He met them where they were, offered grace before judgment, and invited them into relationship before expecting perfection.
Church isn't a place for people who have everything figured out—it's a place for people seeking hope, asking questions, and discovering God's love together.
No matter where you are on your faith journey, there is a place for you here. 💙
As you go through this week, consider: How can you help someone feel welcomed, seen, and loved the way Christ welcomed us?

Thinking of our Presbyterian Women's Ministry who held a Luncheon. We had a guest speaker, Amanda Born, from Selah Freedom who presented on bringing awareness to human trafficking and how to spot it, report it, and how to help the fight against it. After the speaker, the Presbyterian Women's Honorary Life Award was awarded to Marsha Quattlebaum. Then, we held the Installation of the Presbyterian Women Coordinating Team.
