June?  Is that possible?  But it was Christmas just last week!  No, it really is June and that means our team leaves for Nicaragua in just one week.  They will depart early on Tuesday morning, June 9 and return late on Tuesday night, June 16.  We’ve put together another prayer guide with more specifics, be watching your email for it.  If you don’t get one, call Megan in the church office and she w...  Read More
