I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.
Psalm 34:4-5

We are grateful to David Bridges for hosting a Family Promise Volunteer Orientation last Sunday and to those that stayed to learn more!
