PASTOR’S MESSAGE Hi Friends, Happy Independence Day Weekend! This Fourth of July is different than any I have experienced.

PASTOR’S MESSAGE Hello Friends, Happy Father’s Day Weekend. I asked a number of people to give me three words that describe their dads. One said compassionate, dependable, hard-worker. Others said fearful, insecure, provider; fun-loving, involved, outdoorsman; and moody, opinionated, stressed. What three characteristics of your father come to mind?
