The Tri-County Crisis Pregnancy Center is sponsoring its annual “Walk for Life” on Sunday, July 26th, in Gowanda. If you would like to help support this important ministry, see Derek for more details.


Get the most out of the services by asking about our special listening devices. Pick up one in the back or see an usher for help. If yours isn’t working properly, don’t be bashful about raising your hand to ask for assistance.
