One thing is for sure—no one person could ever pull off a Sunday experience like what we witnessed this past weekend. Well, actually there is one—Jesus. And He made it one of the greatest days in our history! But He used people to make it happen and now I would like to give a shout […]
READ MOREWhat an unbelievably awesome Easter Sunday! We kicked off what might very well be our best series ever, One Month to Live. We had worship that was absolutely off the hook from our very own, Return Worship. We had hundreds of volunteers working with smiles and real hearts of servanthood.
