What a wonderful weekend of weather, worship, and fellowship! I hope you were able to enjoy some time outside this weekend in this amazing spring-like weather! I also hope you were able to connect with our church family yesterday and were challenged in how we approach our outreach. The apostle...
I feel like over the past week we have experienced almost a year’s worth of weather patterns! It’s hard to believe that the middle of last week was almost in the 60s and then snow swooped in and blanketed everything in white. Now yesterday, we had rain followed by enough...
