Weekly Update - 2/17

Thank you Randy for the message today... "A 21st Century Vision for a 21st Century Church", with the text from Colossians 4:2-4.

• Our day should begin with prayer, continue in prayer, and end with prayer. 
• We need someone, or several, to step up and be a champion of prayer.
