the Outreach Team is inviting the congregation to participate in our current effort to benefit this family, as<br />
well as others in the future. Whether it is through $1.00, $10.00, $100.00 or more, we believe the Lord<br />
is presenting a number of possibilities of what we can do for others. Please make donations to <strong>Divine</strong><br />
