FAC International Weekend

We’ve just had Wednesday (October), and now we’re eagerly anticipating Friday (December), but we still have to make it through Thursday (November!) … and many of us find November to be an overwhelming time of year as we plan ahead for Christmas. Last week, I asked God if he had a word for us as we head into this season, and he replied with two words: slow down.” Catch the rest of Pastor Rosalind’s reflection on staying mindful of God’s presence as we head into the next month:
