THANK YOU! The members of the CEP (Christian Education Program) would like to
give the congregation a big thanks for your contributions again this year. Our
numbers continue to grow as our families do and new kids join. Praise God for
the opportunity to bring Christ to our kids as they grow up. We are approaching
the end of another giving year and the start of a new in June. We are still in need
