Meal Train Support for Judi and Wayne
We keep the Fabrizio family in our hearts and prayers as Judi courageously battles cancer. Judi has been steadfast and faithful for many of us during the different seasons of our lives that have brought comfort, joy, love and care.
Would you support Judi and Wayne with the gift of food? All food is greatly appreciated, homemade, semi-homemade, store/restaurant prepared. Above all, continue to pray and share your healing energies and comfort to our dear sister Judi and Wayne. If you wish to support them through their meal train, please sign up here.

Core Value: Community
This Sunday we gather around Acts 2:42–47, a beautiful glimpse of the early church where believers shared life, prayer, meals, and resources—and God added to their number daily. In that spirit, our focus will be on our core value of Community: we strive to foster authentic connection and unconditional belonging. We welcome Tom Huetteman, our Lay Leader, as our speaker. Join us..
