We are currently collecting non-perishable items for the Grant County Rescue Mission. Please consider picking up a few extra items to donate the next time you are at the grocery.

There is a huge need at Kendall for more mentors. It takes very little of your time, and the blessings you receive are far greater than the time put in. Training takes about 3 hours and you meet with your student for 1 hour a week for about 25 weeks. That's just a little more than 1 DAY out of 365 days. Please prayerfully consider joining our KIDS HOPE program as a mentor. Contact Joyce Rosel for more information.
