Weekly Update - 5/3

Thank you Patrick for the message this morning "Finding God in the Silence".
He reminded us that there are many instances where Jesus went to be alone with God and that we need to remember to do that daily.  Tell Satan to "get out of here"!  We have to lose control and realize that God is in control.
