meeting with people in the Tri-Cities community.
UMCs support Convoy of Hope in the Tri-Cities

Last month, several United Methodist Churches in the Tri-Cities area along with over 40 churches and local businesses united to impact their community for Convoy of Hope in Kennewick, Wash. Central United Protestant, West Highlands Methodist Church, Riverview United Methodist Church, God’s New Generation/Nueva Generacion de Dios participated in this event.
