Monthly Capital Campaign – The May capital campaign is for the Horton Family, who are local missionaries serving the people in Guatemala and are originally from Dublin, Texas. As of March 2020, the Hortons became career missionaries to Guatemala, after having served one term there as missionary associates. They are country coordinators for the child sponsorship program, ChildHope (formerly Latin America Child Care), to provide education, food, clean water, and the knowledge of HOPE in Jesus Christ to children and families across the country. In addition, they are helping usher in a new program, Open+, which is part of the RedU network. Open+ is a brand-new organization that seeks to engage students on the university campus in intentional relationships, with the desire of sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. Open+ is mobilizing Christian university students with the tools they need to lead weekly small groups and disciple new followers through one-on-one mentoring. Also, Open+ strives to serve the local church in preparation for unique, new believers and give back to the community in times of crisis. We will take the offering for the Horton family on Sunday, May 25^th.

Summer Children’s Choir – This summer, Lynn and Roeland will be having a short time of singing with the kids following church each Sunday morning and will meet in Desiree’s office starting this Sunday, May 18^th.
