The church had special prayers and blessings for those who have gone to be with our Lord. It was a beautiful and poignant time in our worship.
We had a full house to celebrate Sandra Y. Johnson’s birthday, and all birthdays in October.  It was a day to remember, with terrific music, good food and folks to share it with. Sandra Y. Johnson had the crowd clapping, singing and dancing!
Saturday, Oct 4, 2025, was as perfect a day as we could have hoped for.

One of our community projects is to collect backpacks and school supplies to help children in need. Donations are given to Clinton Grove Elementary School in our neighborhood. In 2025, we were able to fill 16 backpacks, with 4 bags of supplies left over. The school was delighted to receive our contribution.
On the first Sunday of each month, we have a special service of healing with the laying on of hands. You may come forward for yourself, or stand in as proxy for another. It truly is a very powerful service.
