Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always strive to do what is good for each other and for everyone else.

1 Thessalonians 5: 15

A Wesleyan Way of Living:

Let your words be the genuine picture of your heart.

Quote of the Day

“Whatever you choose to do, leave tracks. That means don’t do it just for yourself. You will want to leave the world a little better for your having lived.”

Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Sunday, August 30th is the 5th Sunday of the month, so our worship service will be held in Fellowship Hall. The SPRC will be hosting. If you’re able, please bring a food item to share and join us at 9:30 AM for a time of fellowship before worship begins.

Some of you have mentioned that you are unable to do the physical labor required in some disaster responses. This is an awesome opportunity for you to serve in a different kind of capacity. This training will help you learn how to help others to ensure that the most vulnerable of our neighbors get assistance when a crisis occurs.

Let me know if you have any questions. Notice that this training is absolutely free.
