Church is a family. We belong to one another because of what Jesus has done for us and we need each other too. No matter what age or stage we are, we want to encourage each other to live as disciples of Jesus. And it’s wonderful that God provides us with the abilities, experiences and resources to be that blessing to others. At Willows Presbyterian Church we have a whole bunch of ministry teams and it’s such a joy to see people give of themselves to serve and lead.
