A Note from Pastor Dave

SUPER WOMAN!

Hey, it’s Mother’s Day - let’s honor the super-women in our lives. Proverbs 31 describes a “noble” woman or what some might think is “super-woman”!

At any rate let’s do Proverbs 31:28, “Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.”

Today … we’re going to have a prayer of blessing for families after the message … and whether you are single, widowed or husband & wife with children … I want to take May 9, 2021 time at of the service to have a prayer of blessing for each family unit if you so choose.

Blessings,
