With a staff of over 170, they continuously look for ways to connect with the community, ensuring that everyone feels welcome.

As we go through this week,, let’s remember the promise in Philippians 4:6-7. The Lord calls us not to be anxious, but to come to Him in prayer and with gratitude. When we do, He offers us a peace that surpasses all understanding. Whatever is weighing on your heart today, lift it up to God. Settle your mind on Him, and let His peace cover you. Let’s walk in that peace, knowing we are in His hands. 🙏

It’s almost the middle of the week, but it’s always a good day to keep pushing through—day by day. Remember Proverbs 3:5-6: “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” Whether things are going well or feel tough, lean on the Lord in every season! 🙏
