So last week was a pretty special weekend. We started a new series and it’s a very important one on Emotionally Healthy Spirituality. Then Sunday afternoon we headed to Messiah College for what is probably my favorite service that we do each year which is our baptism service. It’s so meaningful to watch people make a public commitment to God, and for me it’s an amazing experience to listen to them share what God is doing in their . . . Read More »
