Pray With Us to Stop Human Trafficking - Human Trafficking is not only a global problem, it is a local problem. It is happening in our communities and in our neighborhoods. You are invited to the PMC to learn more about the issue and how we can help. Our group meets monthly to pray for an end to human trafficking, for personal restoration of those rescued, and for the conversion of those who perpetuate this evil. We also plan events for awareness and to support local anti-trafficking organizations.

All are welcome to the SPCS gym for the school's annual spring production. There is no fee to attend, however, a free-will offering will be accepted.
