That does it for now. I pray that you all have a great week and that you're all able to take advantage of every opportunity God gives you to demonstrate and share His love with others. This Sunday is communion Sunday which provides another opportunity to fix our attention on the great lengths God went to demonstrate His love for us. I love you all and look forward to seeing you soon.
In HIS Service
