Swap, just to name a few! We are also a<br />
Project Linus Blanket Drop-off spot!<br />
We even have musicians “In the House” as<br />
our Pastor, Rev. Glenn Mortimer, and his<br />
wife Elizabeth are trained musicians which<br />
they incorporate into special church services<br />
for all to enjoy! For more information<br />
