Celebration Midweek - May 6

Here is one of my favorite quotes from Rich Mullins: “I am a Christian, not because someone explained the nuts and bolts of Christianity, but because there were people willing to be nuts and bolts.”  Let us always be mindful of just important we are in the journey others take with Jesus.  BE the gospel wherever you go!
