Helping Lake Chelan Fire Victims

Folks – Here is a list of items that are needed for all those displaced by the fires up at Lake Chelan. Also, you can make monetary donations or gift card donations and drop them off here at the church office and we will make sure they get to those who need them. Please, remember to pray for all those who’ve lost homes, property, businesses, livelihoods. Pray for those who are fighting the fires that God grants them continued strength and wisdom.

Good morning,
