LOOK FOR MARY NEXT WEEK
Mary is attending the NEXT Church conference. She will contribute to Fresh Impressions next week.

The conference will start at 4pm on Sunday, April 30th and run through the afternoon on May 1st.
Keynote speakers are nationally known leaders, Bruce Reyes-Chow and Christine Hong, and in addition there will be workshops and worship to attend. This is a CAN'T BE MISSED event!
