And In Him Was Light and Life
If you were to ask a group of Christians to name a verse from the Gospel of John, it would not take most of them long do to so. And most would name the same verse. Can you name one? What verse are you thinking of right now? My guess is that most people would...Updating & Upgrading the System

Join us for worship on Sunday, November 10th. We will be looking at Generosity and Commitment! We would love to see you in person, but if you can't make it to the service, you can always watch it here on Facebook.
