Can You Host the Long Family?
The Long family, missionaries serving in Thailand, will be visiting Rochester this summer and are in need of housing during their stay (July 8–22). This is a beautiful way to show hospitality and hear firsthand about God’s work in Thailand! They will be presenting after the July 12 service — you won’t want to miss it.
If you’re able to open your home, please contact Joe Zayas, Missions Team Lead, at 507-398-1970 or JOEDZA4610@gmail.com.
It’s Time to Mow
