7-26-20 Service – Nothing Can Separate Us
Dear Church Family, The thought of the week is this: Nothing can separate us from God’s love. Nothing, no one, no situation, no words, no power, nothing… except ourselves. God is always there for us. We have to make sure we are there for him. Don’t shut him out of your life. Seek him, accept…
