Why do we serve people? Why do we GO on mission trips? What did Jesus do that we should copy?

All great questions, and we have opportunities for discussions and answers! This summer, we’ll continue serving with concentrated time to do such. And we’ll talk about the WHAT’s and the WHY’s of missions this Spring. Get ready!
