Cleaning up at Community Church

by Shelby Pace | June 24, 2025 12:43 PM

Base Camp

by Shelby Pace | June 24, 2025 1:15 PM

Base Camp is an organization that provides support for families who are fighting cancer. We learned so much about how little things can make such a difference and that having a comfortable environment and a positive environment can actually help a patient fight cancer and speed up the recovery process. We loved serving with them and learning more about how we can help!

From soil to soul, every seed we plant matters.

Moon Tree

by Shelby Pace | June 25, 2025 9:51 AM

LESA Moon Tree was once just a seedling flying through space, and now has grown so much over the years. As we reflect on this tree that has faced the impossible, we are reminded how our faith grows in God. Once a seedling, but with the right gardening and sowing, we become something of miraculous beauty.
