Welcome to Spirit life.  Yes, we pursue his presence.  Every week isn't like this one, but we endeavor to always leave room for where God is leading us differently in a service.  Next week will resume "This is Church" Series.

It is so refreshing and encouraging to know that God knows and sees us. Today we were blessed to experience powerful words spoken over the lives of many of our attendees and Church Family. I would encourage those who these words pertain to, mark them down and keep them to remember what God has spoken over you!  Thank you again to Lois Baker Ministries for your ministry.
