Gifts of the Holy Spirit are given so that we will be prepared for the work of service and the body of Christ will be built up. Each of us has gifts. What are your gifts? How are you using them?

Mission Sing ‘n Celebrate, May 4th at 7 pm
In John 12:26, Jesus says that “the Father will honor anyone who serves me.”
Jesus’ message is for everyone – no matter what their social, cultural or racial differences.
Jenny Reyes will be our guest speaker. She and her husband, Ben, have been faithfully serving their Lord since 1989 in Brazil and Paraguay. Besides working with Ben in developing training that will equip Latin Americans for cross-cultural ministry, Jenny also works in her homeland, Brazil, in discipleship — leading Bible study seminars and teaching about church planting.
Please plan to join us, so that we can show our appreciation for her service.
