Bold and Brave Believers
They are those who have the kind of faith that steps out in bravery, courage, taking bold moves and fearless risks as they believe and pray for others and themselves. We have an incredible “Lamplighters” (aka fellowship group) at our church that we joyfully attend after Sunday morning worship. Unlike our teenage years when Sunday…
What is it Like to be You?
