Each year, we partner with Sunrise Children's Services, a Kentucky Baptist ministry that provides care, hope, and healing to hurting children and families through Christ-centered services. As part of our Father's Day worship service, we will bring our donations to the altar and spend a special time praying over them and the children and families they will bless. Thank you for helping us turn gratitude for our fathers into a tangible expression of Christ's love for children in need.
