This week in the FLC flyer you can read about the needs and challenges of our music ministry  led by Jodi Swiderek. Please keep the Family Life Center in your prayers and reach out to the Office to help us raise the cash needed to break ground this year and provide our ministries with the space they need to grow

Email and phone scammers are again asking for donations in the name of many pastors in the USA. Fr. Julius wants all to know that he is NOT sending any of these requests for money.
