Letter from Pierre & Marlize
As we end this year, we’re grateful for God’s provision through our TFH family. In 2024, God continued weaving an incredible story, rooting us deeply in faith while empowering us to reach beyond our walls into our city and world.
Every gift given through this offering will support the essential work of ministry, the stewardship of our sacred space, and the resources that sustain us.
Thank you for being an integral part, Pierre & Marlize
