Midweek Message: Become a Faith Former!
by Phil Miller– Two years ago, when our church put an end to Sunday morning children’s education, we never intended to quit nurturing our children spiritually.

Midweek Message: When What Was Good Becomes “Has-Been”
by Phil Miller– Sometimes, change is practical—like changing your tires when they’re old (let’s hope) and worn out. I walk past a husband and wife who have just put on the puny-looking spare. They’re stuffing their injured tire into the car trunk. Whether they can redeem the flat is yet to be determined. For today,… Read More →
