Based on the outcomes of these meetings, we are praying to open the pantry again in the next couple of weeks.

Our coffee shop team is in need of a few more volunteers on the second shift to keep our coffee brewing.   If you love hospitality, love to serve, or love coffee, this might be the team for you.  Just try it out – sign-up for one shift to work alongside other volunteers. Indicate interest on the bulletin response or stop by the coffee shop counter.

SPECIAL THANK YOU –“Dear Cedar Hills Family, We want to express our sincere gratitude for the outpouring of love, kindness, and support you have shown before and after our mother’s (Harriet Aarhus’) passing. The many prayers offered on her behalf brought comfort and peace during her final days and continue to sustain us as we grieve. We are deeply touched by the generous charitable donations made in her memory, the cards and messages of encouragement, the meals provided, and the countless acts of service that eased our burdens during this difficult time…” READ MORE ~Todd and Ryan Aarhus, and Kylene, Chad and Ashleigh Dunham”
