Hammer: the tool
Sunday was busy: We had holy communion and listened to the story behind the song Beloved: The Last Supper - Mike Donehey. (The song is in the album from Tenth Avenue North.) Pastor Dwayne gave a motivational message looking from what God did last year, to what we should expect this year. (See the Best of 2013 photo gallery below; comments are in the sermon recording.)
