✨ Celebrating History, Faith, and Service! ✨

Our church members were honored to volunteer their time and lend a helping hand with the cleanup at historic St. John’s Church in Richmond, Virginia, in celebration of the United States 250th anniversary!

As we reflect on this important milestone, we are reminded of the power of community, the importance of preserving our history, and the blessings that come from serving others. Through acts of service, we honor the generations who came before us while helping preserve this historic landmark for generations to come. We are grateful to everyone who came out, rolled up their sleeves, and shared their time and talents to make a difference.

Together, we celebrate not only 250 years of history, but also the enduring spirit of faith, fellowship, and service! Many hands, one purpose, and a legacy worth preserving! 💒🧹❤️

"Love is not stepping back or sanctioning others’ decisions and actions.

"Love is being interested in their lives, their successes, and their challenges.

"Love is being there with arms outstretched and a cheerful countenance.

"Love is lifting with faith and hope in our Lord and Savior.

"Love relies upon the calming influence of the Holy Ghost."

—Elder A. Rasband
