GRACE CONGREGATION: God is constantly at work creating in us a clean heart—let’s all work together to keep the church clean. After all, many hands make light work. There is a sign-up sheet for volunteer monthly cleaning. “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.” Psalm 51:10
THANK YOU so much for sowing into what I am doing here in Houston, TX. I am so encouraged by your generous gifts that you gave me during your combined Labor Day service.
