Rise and Shine 5K Run/Walk Fundraiser is more than a race but will be an experience for runners to run with a purpose.

We would like to serve a meal that brings one’s mind to think about The Last Supper. We will supply drinks in a small boat that we will label Peter’s boat but instead of fish, it will be filled with drinks! Luke 5:1-11 Our vision goes much deeper than our building repairs, but that God has no boundaries, and we can share the word of God anywhere.
