As we reflect on this Saturday’s service, we are reminded that this effort is much...

You may have heard that our Madison Youth Ranch is turning 10 and we were planning a big celebration event on October 12th. However, as a result of Hurricane Helene passing through the Florida panhandle and causing considerable damage, we believe it is best to postpone the celebration until a later date, allowing everyone time to clean up and recover. The Youth Ranch sustained only minor damage in...

Did you know that teachers rely on parents and donations for many of their school supplies? Those supplies can be anything from Clorox wipes to pencils to the decorations in their rooms. I feel so blessed to have many teachers (and retired educators) in our church who help us stay connected with how we can support our local schools.With school starting, I wanted to share with you who in our church...
