If you'd like to join a group from our church and volunteer, fill out this Volunteer Application and submit it along with a photocopy of your driver's license to Tammy by Sunday, June 30th.
Begin with Prayer (Texts)
This summer we want to join together as a community to BLESS our neighborhood. The 'B' in BLESS stands for 'Begin with Prayer.' One way we are going to live out this BLESS strategy is to mobilize as many people as we can to pray for one specific thing each week this summer. Text the phrase LSQPrayer to 313131 to have the weekly prayer request sent to your phone. You can also find it on our Facebook page. Let's join together to Begin with Prayer this summer!
