Christianity rises or falls on the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Come and hear the account of this world changing event, learn some of the evidences for it’s historicity. However, the resurrected Jesus is more than mere facts to believe, He is a person to be experienced, loved and obeyed. Do you know Jesus like that?
Community and Church Groups
Al-Anon
Hope and Serenity AFG ( Al-Anon Family Group) is a member of the worldwide fellowship of Al-Anon.
Al-Anon meets every Wednesday at 7:00pm and offers help and hope for the families and friends of alcoholics, whether the alcoholic is still drinking or not. The Al-Anon program is an anonymous fellowship based on the Twelve Steps adapted from Alcoholics Anonymous. Alcoholism is a confusing disease and the program helps focus on our recovery from the effects of the disease rather than focusing on well-meaning but ineffective ways of controlling the illness in our loved one. Family members with drug addiction concerns have also found our program of recovery to be useful. Additional Al-Anon contact information is provided below:

Donegal Power Packs Project
Hosted by The Donegal Foundation
Nutrition plays a vital role in the ability of children to learn and be successful in school. Simply put; hungry children cannot learn. The Donegal Power Packs Project provides recipes and ingredients, tips and staple food to families on the weekend when school feeding programs are not available.
The mission of Donegal Power Packs is to empower families by providing food and nutritional education to children in the Donegal School District. This non-profit program is solely run by volunteers and supported by the local community.
The project distributes food packs on Thursdays, October through May of the current school year. For registration information or to volunteer, contact the project by email at donegalpowerpacks@gmail.com
