Coffeehouse Christmas was AMAZING! Coffeehouse Christmas was a little different this year, taking place on 2 Sundays after church service.

Serving Our Local Communities When you volunteer locally, you get to interact with your entire community of people. People in our local communities will usually have vastly different stories and backgrounds.
