Happy Monday morning GA family and friends. Apologies to anyone who tried to watch our worship service yesterday. Our Tech Team is busy working on some of the bugs that are interrupting our videos on You Tube. Hopefully this problem will be fixed soon.

Thought for today: Whatever you're walking through today, apply the joy of your salvation, and then watch your circumstances change. Healing comes on the wings of a celebration, the kind that begins to praise even before answers come. ( What are you waiting for? Start praising!) I'll start celebrating now, Lord, because my joyful heart will give me hope.! Amen

Go in Peace, Love and Service. Have a Blessed week.

Happy Monday morning GA family and friends. Thank you to Pastor Steve for leading us in worship.

Romans 12:4-a Each of you has one body with many parts. And the parts do not all have the same purpose. So also we are many persons. But in Christ we are one body. And each part of the body belongs to all the other parts. We all have gifts. They differ according to the grace God has given to each of us.

As Pastor Steve said our church is like a puzzle, made of many pieces, with many different qualities and talents. Are you a singer, musician, sewer, prayer, server, teacher, cook, preacher.......and the list can go on and on. Also if a piece of our puzzle is missing, we must look for that piece until we find it and make sure our puzzle is complete.

This week I challenge you to get to know what your puzzle piece is supposed to be doing. Remembering to live as a child of Christ in his Grace and tell the story and his love. Go in Peace, Love and Service. Have a Blessed week.
