Upland, CA — In recognition and celebration of Women’s History “HerStory” Month. Along with the weekly celebration series, there are several other activities scheduled throughout the month of March. Our theme for this year’s month-long celebration is “Kingdom Provision in Uncertain Times: The Faithfulness of God Supplies Every Need.” The theme is inspired by Philippians 4:19, “And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus, said First Lady and Co-Pastor Kimberly Morrow. “In this season, fear may be filling the land for many people, but as believers, our trust is in the God whose supply is unlimited and never runs out. Governments may shift, but the Kingdom of God remains unshaken.”
