Jesus Said…..

41 As He approached Jerusalem and saw the city, He wept over it 42 and said, “If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes. 43 The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side. 44 They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of God’s coming to you.”

Luke 19:41-44

Please join us in wishing Tom and Noah Green well in their new journey as they move to Florida. Pray for safe travels and that the Lord will use Tom in his new

ministry there.

We will be having a "Card Shower" for Tom and Noah to help them on their move and to thank Tom for his 9 years of faithful service to our church. Because of short notice you can bring your card of well wishes or donation this Sunday. We will

continue to collect for 2 weeks and mail them to Tom.
