And now abide… Faith, Hope, Love, these three;
.........but the greatest of these is Love! 1 Corinthians 13:13

The amazing love of God is in fact ‘the greatest.’

As we read the Scriptures we understand that His direction to Love one another is not a suggestion, it is a command.  He hasn’t said, “If you have time,” or “If you feel like it,” but rather He is telling us that even as He loves us, we are to follow His model to to love them.  Loving your neighbor as yourself may not be easy, but it is necessary if we are to follow God’s plan.

The women of Northern California and Nevada have taken this direction from God seriously. For nearly 60 years they have been giving to projects around the world.  This year is no exception!

In 2008-2009, we are excited to assist our missionaries around the world as they tell of God’s Amazing Love.

In 2008-2009, we will assist:
