Equipping the Next Generation

“Success means having the courage, the determination, and the will to become the person you believe you were meant to be.” George Sheehan

Thanks to
Lance Brender we had our 2022 Urban Plunge at the Olympia Union Gospel Mission. After a morning of learning about the people being served at UGM, and helping where we could. We listened to the sermon given by Steve, served lunch, and talked with new people. It was an enlightening time to learn about others in need, and see the hearts of the compassionate leaders serving at UGM. Thanks, Lance Brender for making it happen!

After 5-hours of plunging into our urban setting, let's fellowship together!
After a year of virtual meetings vi Zoom it was so great to have a meal together and sit face-to-face to chat. A shout out to Percy for joining us from California! I had a marvelous time with you all! (missed you, Wendy.)
