Faith and Ale 2.0
|  On February 10, over 20 people were inspired by Pastor Morsal's faith journey. Thank you Pastor Collier for sharing your personal story! On March 17, we will meet at the home of Marie and Mike Zeller. Since it is St Patrick's Day, we thought it would be appropriate to explore the Celtic and Irish history, faith stories and customs. This will be an interactive session with shared leadership by anyone who wishes to do some research and share it with the group. More details will be available soon. We are seeking a location and topic for the Faith and Ale on April 14. Please contact Bob Mobley 313-885-0529 regarding either date.
