In his sermon titled “Care to Share,” Jeremy, our preacher, challenged us to share our stories because our stories are how we make Jesus known. He says – “You know, I may post the beautiful sunset seasons, but I don’t post the raging storms seasons. But you know what? That may be the very stuff […]
Celebrate!
There are so many reasons to celebrate. In fact, today alone is National Devil’s Food Cake Day, and Take Your Parents To The Playground Day. Who knew? Five years ago today, Josiah had his last chemotherapy treatment. That’s a celebration – not only that he finished that day, but we celebrate today that he has […]

Camp 2016
I sat outside and watched as 80 5th and 6th grade campers played around the beautiful campgrounds of Camp MOCOMI.
