(Songs, skits, readings, instruments, pictures, stories, were just some of the ways we worshiped in earlier years.) What might you share? -Phil & Kelly Horning and family, are at the mountains this weekend through Wed. Phil, (Kelly plans to join him) also plans to attend the MC USA Pastor's Day in Pittsburgh on Monday, July 4. Please pray that God would use this time for His purposes.
