Good morning Community Grace Church Family. Well, I’m not gonna tell you my sermon title today. Nope. Not gonna do it… just yet. It’s on a topic that has been swirling around my mind for a while now. My prayer is the Holy Spirit leads me well as I preach; and leads you all as you receive. My desire is that we are truly encouraged and equipped, and that our Lord is pleased with our time together.

1 Peter 3.8 Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble.

Rev. Paul Alexander: You don’t have to agree with someone in order to love them.

Official Board: Feb. 4 @ 6 PM.
