God is working in amazing ways in our church family – and even greater things are yet to come – Read John 14:12-13.

And be sure of this: I am w/ you always, even to the end of the age.”
When I think of the Great Commission, I’m reminded of a product we’re all too familiar w/ here in Atlanta. I ...
