We say it around here all the time: our mission is to be a group of people who are being transformed into Christ-followers.

So they talked about what it means to humble yourself and let Jesus work through your life.
So…last Saturday they drove back from Maine-11 hours straight-on a van-sounds like fun, right? And this is what caught my attention most-on the van, on the way b ...
