Feet on the Ground (F.O.G.)

We still have many soldiers who are serving overseas and away from their loved ones.  The next shipment of boxes  for soldiers will go out the beginning of May. We are in need of funds to mail the boxes.  We mail out 20 boxes and each box costs around $14.00.  Any extra funds that are donated will be used to purchase items that are still needed.  Thank you for supporting this ministry for our soldiers serving so far from their homeland. May God bless and protect them.

Service for Bill Roberts

Bill Roberts went to his heavenly home on Thursday, April 23.  This Saturday, May 2, 11am, at the church, there will be a service to remember him.  The family prefers not to have a meal or flowers but rather have that money donated to Judah Tangshing.  This was a special person/mission in Bill's life. The funds can be sent to Kathy Roberts (115 Orange Ave., St. Cloud, FL, 34769) and she will forward to Judah or donate directly to www.priorityoneworldwide.com, designated for Judah Tangshing.
