Golf Cart Ministry The Hydro Free Fair is August 20th – 22nd. Our church will be providing free golf cart rides for fair attenders to and from their vehicles.

If you would like to help as a relief  driver, but not be in charge, there is a place for that also. Time will start around 6pm each evening and will go until the fair closes. Thanks so much for volunteering your time for this ministry.

We also need leaders and helpers for PreK/Kinder, grades 3-5, and grades 6-8.
