Our family took the week of last week to get away from the city and spend some time together. Thankfully, we were able to find a nice stay that was about two hours away where we enjoyed the woods and ocean. After a whirlwind trip, we got back in town on Saturday.
We are encouraged by the number of people we get to meet with on a weekly basis to help with the basics of the Christian walk. Right now we are going through basic lessons on assurance and the Christian life with at least 5 different people on a regular basis and are excited to see hwo God will continue to work in each of their lives.
