Enormous thank you

I am humbled weekly by the presence of such incredible children. Children who are ready to listen and play and create and respond. They and their families are a blessing to us all. I am truly grateful to God for this blessing in the life of our church.

Are we seeking him more? Are we serving one another and the community? Are we sharing the good news about Jesus?
