2025 Souvenir Journal

“ Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grow and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work. ” Ephesians 4:15 - 16 I greet you in the name of our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. It is an honor and privilege to bring you greetings on behalf of the Young Adult Department. I am truly honored and grateful to have been elected to
