December 31, 2023 Happy New Year, Milliken!

¹³ This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: he has given us of his Spirit. ¹⁴ And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Saviour of the world. ¹⁵ If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. ¹⁶ And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.

God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. -1 John 4:13-16

Here are 3 reasons why you should join:

1. A place to develop your gifts and be equipped to serve.
2. Wonderful team of believers who support each other and pray for each other.
