Find Freedom Through Forgiveness ...

Today was Better than Best Sunday and our attendance goal was 44. We didn't quite make it with 43 but we appreciate everyone of you being there!

Scriptures: Colossians 3:12-13 and Philemon 8-22

Don spoke to us today about forgiveness and the definition and how we are to do as God instructs to forgive those we feel have wronged us. In this it is usually a blessing to us. Sometimes the other person has no idea they have done anything and we hold bad feelings for them and we are the only ones suffering.
