2024 Annual Report
Letter from Pastor Lee
& Jane Cummings
As we reflect on the past year, we are reminded of the words from Psalm 65:11 (NKJV): “You crown the year with Your goodness, and Your path drips with abundance.” This report stands as a testimony to the Lord’s goodness, a reflection of His continued provision, and a reminder that all we accomplish together is made possible only by His hand and power. May we look back with hearts full of gratitude for all He has done, and go forward in faith into what He has already prepared for us, trusting that His unwavering faithfulness and enduring goodness will continue all the days of our lives.
