This Sunday will be our First Service in New Worship Area!  Can I hear an AMEN!  My hope is that we can catch our breath from the relentless pace of the past year to rejoice  in God's continued goodness and faithfulness.  We truly need to celebrate!  My hope is also that we get back to work to see how God will use this building to change lives in and around Muskegon.  May this continue to be our focus!
