Enjoy fellowship with coffee and desserts afterwards. Please feel free to bring a dessert to share. As we reflect on how God SO loved us by sending His Son, I would ask you to reflect how you can give an extra year end gift to help us end the calendar year strong and ready to accomplish greater things for the King. I would also remind you this is a good time to catch up on your commitment to our Greater vision to reduce the debt and free us up for more impact. Thank you for listening and doing what God directs you to do. See you this weekend! Pastor Gay |
