As we follow Jesus, His love transforms us. His Spirit gives us the power to show self-control. We can follow His example and choose to do what we should do—instead of what we

want to do.

The children continue to contribute to the school breakfast program with their weekly offering. We encourage the children to bring an offering to donate to this worthwhile project.
