Welcome, Rev. Dr. Shonda Nicole Gladden, Senior Pastor of La Plata African Methodist Episcopal Church! Today's sermon title, "If We Don't Faint," from Galatians 6:1-10, encouraged us to trust GOD's due season and to stay encouraged as we discern together what GOD is doing in the midst of our congregation. Check out the Digital Digest for an inspiring message from Pastor Shonda and for more details about what's happening in the weeks to come!
