Breakfast at 8:00 am Sunday School at 9:00am. We give thanks to God for keeping us here in these trying times. We give thanks to the veterans for their life saving work. They continue to give us our freedom and right to a democracy. So many gave their lives, their freedom and ability to live a stressfree life. So many of our veterans came home with problems and issues. We have to always remember that they are our freedom fighters.
