RESPONSIBILITIES

As the Deacon of Community Engagement, I am the point person for MapleRidge’s ministry to our community — Maple Grove.  Thus far we have participated in Maple Grove Days, worked with some of the homeless in the area, hosted a marriage night at our church and invited the community, hosted a financial planning class for the community.  We have many ideas forming for the future!

MY FAITH JOURNEY

I love Jesus Christ and serve Him as my Lord and King.  I am a sinner and there is no way I can ever get to heaven on my own.  I keep screwing up.  But – Jesus died for me, and because I accept forgiveness through Him, I get to go to heaven.  A wonderful gift!
