To My Beloved Church Family,

Words feel small compared to the love you’ve poured into my family during this difficult time after the loss of my sister. Your calls, your cards, your warm hugs, and every thoughtful gesture have carried us through moments when our hearts felt heavy. In a time of deep sorrow, you reminded us that we are never alone. Thank you for surrounding us with the kind of love that reflects Christ so beautifully.

May God bless each of you for the compassion you’ve shown.

Yours in Christ

Joe C. Randall. Sr., and Family

HEALTHCARE MINISTRY

The Health Care Ministry wants to remind everyone that May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and this year's theme is "More Good Days, Together." This encourages us to reflect on what a "good" day looks like, both for ourselves and for our communities.

As we care for our physical health, we must also remember to care for our minds, emotions, and spirits. God calls us to love others, but He also wants us to be healthy and whole ourselves. This month, we are encouraging our church family to join our church-wide "START-STOP-CONNECT" Challenge:

START - Doing something that we know we should be doing.

STOP - Doing things that we know are not good for us. (Ignoring stress, carrying burdens alone, and pouring from an empty cup)

CONNECT - With God, family, trusted friends, and supportive community.

Let's challenge ourselves to glorify God not only through service, but also through healthy minds, healed hearts, and meaningful connections. Together, let's wear our green and work together towards "More Good Days, Together!"
