February 15, 2022 Stories From the Trail #12 - Maeghan Adams
Each week at Christ Community Church, we feature stories of what God's doing in the lives of the people who make up our church family - the story of how they came to faith in Jesus, the story of how God's currently growing them in grace, or even the story of how they're taking their faith outside and meeting needs in our community. The Stories From the Trail segment shares those stories with you. This week, we hear from CCC member and former Worship Leader Maeghan Adams about the work she's now doing with Barren Heights, an organization that ministers to families of children with special needs. Hear why this work is near and dear to Maeghan's heart, and how we can play a part in sharing Jesus with these families through Barren Heights' work.
