It is a means of fellowship. As a group we can encourage and support each other e.g. we shared a good time on the bus going to Gospel Song November 7th. Our two newest songsters put signs on the back windows reading: "Smile, Jesus Loves You" and "Honk if you love Jesus" and had many responses. Well done, Amanda & Jenny! |

It is an aid to worship; each Sunday we pray that God will use our ministry to bring people closer to Him. |
