We will resume our Wednesday evening

The Church Visioning Council in their June and July meetings discussed the need to increase the meal cost to $6.00. Help Needed!!! We have a special need with Diane Hudson’s A Team! Volunteers primarily serve the meal then have some light clean up afterward! Would you please consider helping Diane as well as the other teams??
Above All
Above all powers Above all things
Above all nature and all created things Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began
Above all kingdoms Above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure what You're worth
Crucified Laid behind the stone
You lived to die Rejected and alone
Like a rose trampled on the ground You took the fall
