Thank you to everyone who helped out this morning especially our cub scouts and Girl Scouts. And thank you to the Dt Mark’s Food Ministry who served up lunch to all the volunteers.

Attended an interfaith worship service today at Alvernia University. Christian, Jewish and Muslim believers gathered together to worship God. The theme of the service was radical hospitality in a world that desperately needs hospitality rather than hate.

Pastor Jim would like you to meet two missionaries from France who he met on the Jerusalem tour.
