Rain, Rain, and More Rain, Literacy and Bible Dedication

Fitly Framed Together

Fitly Framed Together

The BODY of Christ working together, praying side by side, fellowshipping shoulder to shoulder, laughing and crying with each other…  The need, and may we say the command, for God’s children to “one another” one another has been brought to the forefront of our lives lately.
