Mission, Vision and Values Update

Starting this September one weekend every month will be devoted to introducing a core value to the congregation. We will feature a temple talk, selected Bible readings, special music, an appropriate sermon and a demonstration of the core value. Different ministries here will present these values each month for the rest of the year.

The very first Core Value weekend is scheduled for September 23rd and 24th and the Youth Group will present .Compassionate Service. to the congregation.

The term "Compassionate Service" is used in the Church to refer to love-inspired assistance willingly given to meet physical, spiritual, and emotional needs. It requires a sensitivity that perceives human distress beyond spoken words (Luke 10:30-37), an eye that recognizes the good in people, and an understanding heart attuned to the Holy Spirit to discern what is appropriate to say and do (John 19:25-27).
