Front Page News
Well, it must be a slow news day, because we made the front page of The Times. I’m thankful for the opportunity to talk about our flooding issues, but also for the chance to let people know that it’s God who provides, and we are at his mercy. Thankfully he gives good gifts to all and I [...]

A friend from work came to church with me today. She loved it and is looking forward to coming back. Whenever I’m with someone who is joining us for the first time, I view things in a different way, and I am never disappointed. “God, we know that you reach out to people and search [...]
