Pastor Linda

from Pastor Linda...

 


From the outside, it may appear that the church is a quiet, unchanging pillar in the community—always there, always available, always serving. However, from the inside our church is never more active than during the summer months. I am reminded of the newer hymn:
I am the church,
you are the church,
we are the church together.
