What a great Sunday! We were blessed with the preaching of a life long friend The Rev. Johnny Pierce. (
Click Here for the Sermon) Johnny was a senior my first year at Berry and I have followed him (the last few years on Facebook) He is insightful and thoughtful in his following of Christ and I commend his ministry to you.
