Connection Card Response

I want to thank you for a wonderful Sunday Worship Service yesterday. There seemed to be a positive feeling in the room like the Holy Spirit was in our mist. One person said to me “there was something different about worship. It was so wonderful.” Thank you for being part of that!!!

On the Connection Cards, I asked you to answer this question; “What positive changes would you like to see happen over the next couple of months at our church?” I thought the responses were very thoughtful and positive. So, I would like to share them with you.


•Keep watching and praying for ‘the best is yet to come’. Let’s all ‘keep our forks.’
