CAMPING SUNDAY THANKS
What a blessing we had that day after the rain! THANKS BE TO GOD! An enormous, heartfelt THANKS to all who made our first Camping Sunday Service a day to remember of inspiring worship, praising songs, meaningful messages, eating hot dogs and the fellowship of believers “CAMPING” in God’s house!
Looking forward to next year!
