Elisha received the first-fruits offering and shared the few loaves with 100 prophets. They ate their fill, like the 5,000 fed when Jesus passed the bread and fish. What is our first-fruit offering? What is our first-flinch reaction?

Jesus is our good shepherd, he gave his life for the sheep. But we haven't been in the same fold for a long time. The shepherd reassures the sheep and so do the rest of the flock. Join us as we anticipate gathering again.
