Scholarship awarded to students

The Scholarship Committee is pleased to announce that 6 members of our congregation will receive scholarhips. This award is recognition for their contributions to church and community while it is also a resource to help them realize their educational potential. We are blessed that we are able to encourage them as they continue in the Way of the Lord.
