Dan's presentation will inspire. entertain and enlighten.
"“The Order’s goal is to provide a financial foundation for our Church’s future in America and throughout the world. Members of The Order are men and women from all walks of life: secretaries, factory workers, business entrepreneurs, executives, young adults, and grandparents who commit to a lifetime of annual giving. Members are people like you and me who believe that when we combine our gifts miracles can happen because we can do more collectively than any one individual can do alone.”

His quotes are memorable!
“In this life, our happiness depends on this: either we ignore God or we adore God.”
From “Ignoring God or Adoring God”, May 16, 2021, St. Nicholas Church, Grand Rapids, Michigan

“Jesus is there to help you, to take your hand and lift you up from whatever seas you are sinking in . . . whatever makes the waves under us too big and whenever our feet can’t find something solid to stand on, we need to remember what we say in our prayer, ‘Lord save me.’”
From “Fluid Floors are Fragile”, August 27, 2021, St. Ananias Church in Evansville, Illinois
