Welcome, brothers and sisters in Christ, as we gather for
Praise, Prayer, Word and Worship!
\u201cEverybody can be great\u2026because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve.
You don’t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace.
A soul generated by love.\u201d
