Debra lead the worship team this morning and we received quite a few encouraging messages during worship. Pastor Dwayne started with a series on Worship. He is building a puzzle picture - listen to see it! News is that the Coffee&Toast ministry is being replaced by a Soup Kitchen ministry for our community.
