2023 Year End Giving

Praise God with me! God answered our prayers and you gave so that we received $103,165.00 in December.  Thank you so much for your faithfulness.  This allows us to enter 2024 strong financially help as we move forward with Pastoral Search Process and continue to Build Bridges for People to Come to Jesus and Grow in His Grace.

On a personal note, thanks for your prayers, cards, texts, and emails about my knee replacement surgery.  I’m doing much better and plan to be with you on Sunday.  IU can’t wait to worship with all of you.

Blessings,
Pastor Bill
