COMMUNITY!

THAT is what enables us…

Ephesians 2 – March 12th

How do we unite to grow together to better serve each other & beyond?

You can’t go to church (as some people say) The common terminology we use every day.

You can go to a building. That is something you can do.

REALigion = REALationship- all about Y’ALL

- Stand together - Support - Care for - Love - Offer grace - Compassion - live life together

“Not Alone” October 16th
