First Responders Meal
July 13, 8 am-8 pm
Connection Point Church will host a special event to honor and feed all first responders in the area. This gathering aims to celebrate the dedication and sacrifices made by these brave men and women. While our gesture may be small, we hope it conveys our deep appreciation and gratitude for their unwavering service to our community. Join us as we come together to recognize and thank our local heroes.
First responders: this is a twelve hour event, so you are free to stop by CPC at any time and pick up your meal!
