Join us in celebrating all of Pastor Ron’s good work here at First Free at a come-and-go retirement reception. As we shared at our last Members Meeting, Pastor Ron has decided to retire at the end of March due to health factors.

Holy Week at First Free

March 24-31
This year our sermon series on the signs in John will take us through Holy Week ending on Easter Sunday with the resurrection. We’ll spend time in our services that week looking closer at the final events of Jesus’ life and how they show us more clearly that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. Why? So that by believing we can have life in his name! (Jn. 20:30-31)
