June 24, 2023
This Sunday, June 25, we will be meeting in House Churches.
There will be a small group meeting at the church building in the courtyard at 10:30 AM if you do not have a place to go.
 Dear Church Family,
Thanks to everyone who participated in the Garden Party graciously given by the Holte family and a special thanks to Grace Arnold, Kim Williams, Stephanie Helmig, Kelcea O’Steen, Anna Harbin, and Carolyn Dees who helped serve. I felt the love of God, not just by being surrounded by his creation in the landscape but by the love, joy, and happiness of the support. I can’t express enough in words how much I appreciate Seyoung and Daniel’s hard work. Thank you!
The event raised $1,500 which will help so much in the progression of the needed school in Liberia, Africa. God is faithful and full of love to all.
Much love,
Marva Cheapoo

 Dear Friends and Family Promise Volunteers, We have another OPEN Week beginning Sunday (6/25). As you are aware, “OPEN Week” means we do not have one of our Host Congregations supplying volunteers for the week. If you are available or know other FPA volunteers that might be able to take any slots for Sunday 6/25 through Sunday 7/2, please let me know or sign up here:
Thank you for being a part of Family Promise.
