We receive God&#8217;s grace because He is the one who does the work to provide them for us.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>We Gather to Encourage<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Community can be a very vague term. For us it is all about a very real and powerful promise that we make to our neighbors and to each other. We promise to stand beside each other in all circumstances and strive at all times to be helpful to one another.\u00a0 It is our hope that our Sunday gatherings provide us opportunities to encourage and support one another.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>We Gather to Care<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>We are a community of faith which not only gathers in worship, but also in community service. As we work together and share our resources, we are better able to love our community and assist people who are in need.
