Today is our annual Family and Friends Day! Family are those who are born into the family and friends are chosen along the way. God blesses us with both family and friends. God by design wanted us to have someone to share our lives with. We are grateful for all those who chose to worship with us today and we hope you were glad you came.
Church, let us thank God for both family and friends and cherish them because God has blessed us with them.
