May Is Family Month Recap

We did it! We survived 5 Sundays of worship together as a church family. Actually, we did more than survive…we thrived. Not because our program was so great, but because our God is so great. The LORD met with us through his SPIRIT and through his WORD. Allow me to [...]

The Harvest Is Plentiful
