Pastor Brent’s office during the morning service. They are willing to pray for
anything that is weighing on your heart. If you have a request, write it
on the back of a pew card and place it in the collection plate the first time
it is passed. The
team is also available to you should you desire to have someone pray with you. Please
join them after the first offering is taken if this is your need.

analog TV’s, or computer systems that are incomplete or broken. These
things don’t usually sell, and can be costly to
dispose of. Also, no donations will be taken the week of the sale. This
