We wrapped up 2022 with a Global Christmas Worship to celebrate the birth of our Savior on Christmas Eve.

To commemorate Black History Month, we had the honor of having members and friends of Tasker Street Missionary Baptist Church share their testimonies during our Swahili language worship service. We also got to hear about the church's local outreach ministry, Miriam Medical Clinic.
