Our Grades 3 & 4 Junior Worship crew is diving into what it means to serve this spring!
Last Sunday, they were hard at work creating posters and spreading the word about their latest initiative — a Steel-Toed Boots & Socks Drive for The Mustard Seed!
Here’s how you can help!
We’re collecting NEW steel-toed boots and socks (mens sizes 9–11) in our foyer collection bins until April 28.

Autism Awareness Day
April 2 is Autism Awareness Day—a day to increase understanding of autism spectrum disorder, encourage early diagnosis, and promote acceptance and inclusion in our schools, workplaces, and communities.
This week, our staff came together to share a message of encouragement with our church family.
At South E Free, we are truly blessed to have a Special Needs Ministry that welcomes and supports families with special needs within our church community. Through this ministry, we witness God’s love in powerful and tangible ways—expressed through compassion, patience, and faithful care.
To all parents, we recognize that many of your challenges are unseen, and the journey can be difficult at times. Please know that you are not alone. We pray that the immeasurable love of Jesus Christ will remain strong in your household, bringing you strength, peace, and hope each day. Your sacrificial love reflects the heart of Christ—it is seen, it matters, and it is deeply valued.
As God reminds us in His Word:
“The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and He helps me.” (Psalm 28:7)
We also want to express our heartfelt gratitude to all the aides and volunteers who serve so faithfully in this ministry. Your kindness and dedication are a beautiful testimony of Christ’s love in action, and your service is a blessing to many.

Supporting Ghana’s Mission School
Gmanejere’s Mission School opened this year—but the roof is still unfinished.
This past weekend, we had the honor of hearing from our missionaries in Ghana—Enoch, Janice, and Lucy Jabab. They shared about the incredible ways God is at work in Ghana and how lives are being transformed through the Gospel.
Enoch sharing with us the needs for the school
As a church family, we often ask: How can we support our missionaries? Prayer is the first and most powerful way. Let’s continue to pray that God would surround our missionaries and our brothers and sisters in Ghana Missions with the right people, resources, and encouragement.
But there’s also a very practical way we can help right now. After many years of prayer, the church in Gmanejere opened a Mission School in January 2025! This school is already a beacon of hope for children and families in the community.
Currently, the students are meeting in the new church building structure—but the building doesn’t yet have a roof. To complete the project, they need to raise $20,000.
This is where we get to step in.
Jesus has been so generous with us—what better way to respond than to be generous toward others? Together, we can help finish this school and give these children a safe place to learn and grow in faith.
