Virtual Bible Study

Thursdays from September 11 - November 20 - 7:30 - 8:30 PM

Sign-up by September 2nd here.

Join us for an intriguing 11 session study program that shows how the kingdom established by Christ in his Church is intimately connected with the kingdom of heaven. In this study, presenter Jeff Cavins pulls back the veil on the rich symbolism present in Revelation. Discover what the mysterious figures and images of Revelation mean and see how Revelation is more than an apocalyptic vision of the “end times.”

Little Flower Food Pantry

Click here for updates from the Little Flower Food Pantry.
Our food pantry is essential to over 25 families per week who are working poor. While these families work hard, the high cost of living in our area and inflation makes providing for all the needs impossible. Your food donation, which may seem small, is a helping hand in their struggles. We are dangerously low on supplies of: Canned Soup, Vegetables, Beans (canned and bagged), Fruit, Tuna, Chicken, Chef Boyardee, Chili and Stew. Rice, Parmalat, Cereal, Oatmeal, Coffee, Tea, Pasta Sauce, Pasta, Peanut Butter, Jelly, Toothpaste, Toothbrush, Shampoo/Conditioner, Soap, & Deodorant.

We also take donations of Fresh Fruits and Vegetables.
Drop off to the pantry located in the church lower level or make a cash donation.
