ANNOUNCEMENTS
Dewey Missionary Society invites our whole church family to be involved in giving financially to the CCCC Missions Project: “Educational Materials for Micronesia so that the Christian High School in Mizpah can have more adequate resources. If you would like to donate, please see Alice or Harriett.

Tri-County Pregnancy Center plays an important role in our community. It challenges area residents with the sanctity of life as well as serves pregnant women and their babies in a variety of ways – through volunteer hotline services, peer counseling, provision of maternity and baby supplies, and referrals.
