It is a good day to praise our GOD.
Indeed, it is a very good day.
Let all who would honor the high KING now approach HIS glory.
If we did not know HIM, we would fall back. But HE bids us and we rejoice!

robust and we are in deficit again. Obviously, this calls for all of us to consider how
we might step up to keep things for our church family running as they should.
