March Mission of the Month
City Kidz is a Hamilton organization who ministers to impoverished youth in our city. By providing day and summer programs they are able to express the love of God to people from a very young age and provide them with the information that they are loved and special in God’s eyes. This helps them grow, and hopefully will help them to break the cycle of poverty.
Congregational Meeting
The minutes and audio/video recordings of the January 11/23 congregational meeting are posted in the member page.
