2nd Semester Mission – Our mission offerings this semester are being collected for Costa Maya Ministries, a relatively new ministry in the Yucatan Peninsula area of Mexico, on the Caribbean coast near Belize. So far this semester, we’ve gathered $588.86 to support Christ’s work here.
​
Collecting Lids - After our great LID WAR (over 90 lbs collected!!) - don't forget to keep collecting. We are trying to get to 250 lbs. Once we reach our goal, that means we can get our bench.
