My Thoughts
Making Ready for a Move
Our church has been in the process of building a new location for the past seven years. First we bought the land, then we started our fundrasing program–The Bridge to Our Tomorrow. We were projected to complete…
Sunshine Patriots
“These are the times that try men’s souls…” On December 23rd, 1776, the American writer Thomas Paine published these memorable lines. Our young, fledgling country was facing its first true test of its endurance and willingness to…
