Yet I Am Not Alone

Sunday Service

The service on Sunday was on serving. Elders and Deacons were installed and ordained (it was such a large group of people that I couldn’t tell what was happening to whom or exactly what it meant anyway). Rev. Harrington spoke about the Pillars of the Church. Not a group of …
