Keepers of the Faith for Girls

“It combines both spiritual and practical skills as a complete unit since there is really no difference between the secular and the sacred in the daily walk of a Christian. “Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.” —1 Corinthians 10:31. The purpose of this ministry is to guide and train young people to walk in the steps of our Lord Jesus Christ, day by day and moment by moment, in every situation. Jesus came to earth to complete the work God had given Him.” For more information about this group, please visit with Jenni Perry.

Benefit Pancake Feed for the Speicher Family

Saturday, November 6^th 5- 8 p.m.

Two months ago, COVID struck the Speicher family- Jake, Amber, Ezra (11), Quinn (5), and Ozzy (2). Jake was hit the worst. He spent 3 weeks in the hospital with post-COVID pneumonia and continues to battle the effects of the illness, still not able to return to work. During Jake’s recovery time out of the hospital, Amber learned that both her sister and brother-in-law died unexpectedly. They lived in Denver and have two teenage children. Let’s pour out blessings on this family as they face lost wages through the fight and recovery of COVID and unexpected travel expenses to Denver.
