2025 WINTER BLESSING FESTIVAL!
We are excited to announce our Winter’s Blessing Festival — a joyful day of fellowship, celebration, and outreach as we extend Christmas blessings to our community.
Join us on Saturday, December 20, 2025, from 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM at the Family Life Center.
This event is designed to bless our local community, especially those in need, through gifts of food, clothing, gifts and the message of Christ, and more. There will be fun-filled activities including games, children’s crafts, cookie decorating, and additional surprises — all created to keep Christ at the center of Christmas as we put love in action.
We are encouraging all members to register, participate, and help us share the love of Jesus with others while enjoying meaningful fellowship together.

A BIG THANK YOU FROM THOMYA YOUNG!
I’m excited to share that on December 5, 2025, I officially graduated from Jackson State University with my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology, Magna Cum Laude. God has truly carried me through every late night, early morning, and every moment in between. I’m grateful for His grace, strength, and favor throughout this journey.
Thank you to my church family for your constant prayers, encouragement, and love. Your support has meant more than you know, and I’m blessed to have a community that pours into me the way you all do.
As I step into this next chapter, I pray that I continue to make God proud and represent my church, my family, and myself well.
With love and gratitude,
Thomya E. Young
Class of 2025
