May we recognize God has a design so that everyone has the opportunity to win the race we call life. May we keep in mind Matthew 25:40 And the King (Lord) shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as you have done it undone of the least of these my brethren, you have done it unto me. May it be good that we choose to do to others and not evil. May we all come to a deeper understanding of God’s word and use it effectively in our lives. In Christ's name, amen and amen.
This church is being restored by Alan Schuman. What has been done so far is beautiful.
