Year of Hope

It is our hope in the Lord that strengthens us and helps us walk through the vale of death.

Support for Christians of the Holy Land     

Please consider taking a look at the religious olive wood carvings displayed outside the church next weekend.  These articles are hand crafted by the Christians of the Holy land who are seeking your support to assist them in staying rooted in the land of Christ.  Latest statistics showed that only 1% is present as Christian community in the Holy Land.  It is also a way of preserving a local cultural heritage which is in danger of being lost as more Christians feel pressured to leave their homeland for economic and political reasons.  Your support to help our brothers and sisters in the Holy Land is appreciated. 

 

Project Advance
