The Connection
November 2018
Seasons Greetings!
Can you believe we are so close to the holiday season? It is the season when our never-ending "To Do" lists seem to multiply. We invite you to remember this season is also one of celebration, sharing and being connected to community. Be intentional about cultivating relationships that “fill your cup” as you pour out your gifts and graces to so many. We are praying for you as you lead others to make a difference in the church and the world.
