HOPE MINISTRIES SUMMER DRIVE Our Mission Team will be doing some local trips and service projects this summer. One of those is at Hope Ministries in Des Moines; HM is not funded at all by the government, so they ask mission teams to bring needed items.

This is a moving novel about past mistakes and forgiveness from both God and people. Sabrina comes to Token Creek to start a new life. She finds work and friends in the church family. Can her past prevent her from finding happiness? Find a good book or movie in the narthex/library today! My family and I would like to extend our sincere thanks and appreciation for the food you shared and all your prayers and well wishes. Thanks to the ladies who served Clarence’s favorite ice cream. Thanks to Pastor Jay for such a personal and meaningful funeral service and Pastor Kara for assisting. His family continues to to be overwhelmed by your kindness and caring. Betty Schwien and Family
