AN IDEA ON HOW TO SENIOR ADULT BREAKFAST

HELP US EVANGELIZE THE SINNER
You can help us evangelize the sinner. One
of our strategies to accomplish this is by
involving every family in the missionary
program of our church. Every family should
give at least 1% of their gross income to
the missionary program of our church.
KASEY FISHER WILL PROVIDE
