And we’re off!
Our mission begins now. We have so much to look forward to, so much to be excited about, and most of all, so much praise to offer the Lord! He is so generous and so gracious. May we follow in his ways and let his generous grace overflow through us to the people we meet….
Christmas at SURFCiTY
I stumbled on this video today when Jesus became my friend on Facebook. A church in Australia made this video and I am moved and inspired. I hope more churches will grab on to this type of vision. The body of Christ is global, it has no walls and no doors. We are all one…
