MonthlyFocus@TheGrove One thing about our culture that has survived the Middle Passage is that family has always been at the center of our daily lives. From Sunday family dinners, to cookouts, to family reunions, family continues to be an important thread of the inner fiber of our world. As we enter into the month of April, the central theme of our activities, teaching and preaching will reflect the theme, “We Are Family!” More specifically, we will be examining the role of various spiritual disciplines in the quality of family life. We pray this focus will help our families get more to the center of God’s will for their lives together.
