Beauty, Sunday Corporate Worship 6
Yesterday we had our regular Q&A with David/congregational meeting. We try to do this every 6-8 weeks after the Sunday services. It gives me a chance to download things we are thinking about in a more relaxed setting and it gives you a chance to ask questions about why we do what we do at […]
