September 2, 2023
This Sunday, September 3, we will meet in House Churches.
There will NOT be a group meeting at the church building.
 Dear Church Family,
Praise God for His faithfulness, for being the Great I Am. We had our school’s Grand Opening last week. I thank you for your continuous prayers and financial support. I’m requesting continuous prayers for our health and student enrollment.
Your sister-in-Christ,
Marva Cheapoo
