LICL DEAF MINISTRY IN ACTION--
Help us raise funds to send our interpreters to school.
To date, we have raised $2,710!
We only need $890 more to reach our goal of $3600, which
Thrivent Financial will then match with a donation of $1200.
Alison & Jacki will be leaving for their two weeks of
training on July 25. We still have two Sundays to get our
donations in. Prayerfully consider helping this wonderful
ministry.
