Stay up to date!
From Sunday:

The title of our sermon today was, What's my message? The answer to that question is simple, Your message is to share how God's goodness has changed your life. What did Jesus do and how has it personally impacted your life? That is what this man did in Decapolis. Can you do that?
That's the message you're supposed to be ready with when you are getting up the nerve to have a spiritual conversation with a friend.
 
En Agape',  
Rev. Michael Weeks
