I'm really looking forward to this Sunday.
In addition to the worship and teaching, there are a number of special added-value items on the agenda. It's communion Sunday, which is always uplifting and meaningful. Also, there will be, not one, but two solos--one by Terry Boch and one by Jeff Rogers. In ...
