Stay up to date!
From Sunday:

We are continuing our series, "I Love My Church" and today we are going to talk about how important love is to building a community of faith. One of God's plans for the church is that members of the church live connected lives. God wants us to live connected with Jesus and connected with one another. God wants us to know true community. You probably noticed the fence here today. What do fences have to do with community? That's what we're going to talk about. 
 
En Agape',  
Rev. Michael Weeks
