Let’s remember our mission to pray for, share with and help those in our circle of influence to grow in Christ. Remember Jesus’ call on your life: “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20 CSB

The security team lead, Allan Rider, also attended the meeting. The security team has been organized and fully operating for nine years. The team encourages the congregation to watch and report any unusual activity they may see to them. At their monthly trainings, they look at all current events and hold practice drills to prepare so they can respond adequately if there are any emergency situations or threats to our security.
We appreciate Sam and the Operations personnel and Allan and the Security team who all work efficiently to provide our church with smooth running daily operations and safety in our church facility.
