We were so encouraged by the amazing turnout of our church family who came to support and celebrate those taking this meaningful step of faith. It was a great movement of what God is doing in the lives of His people. Thank you to everyone who came out and made it so special and congratulations to Diane, Matteo and Meena! --- **Naomi Meal Train Update** Naomi is slowly making progress, but she is still not home from the hospital just yet.
