Last Sunday: Our text gave us a wonderful opportunity to just bask in the wonder, the beauty, the glory, the pure awesomeness of Gods' love. That's it. That's all. That's good (we had someone come back to the later service just to hear it all again). We tend to forget.... we tend to complicate.... we tend to doubt. It's good to hear it - loud and clear. You can hear it too from the links to the left....
Pastor's Email There seems to be a problem with the pastor@svlchurch.org address. If you have that address in your address book, please replace it with lcmspastor@sbcglobal.net. Thanks!
