Send in Your Story
Please send me your stories (include pictures where possible) about what you are doing at your church to break down the walls that divide people, particularly the wall between the church and the community.
Send your stories and pictures to Rev. Linda Middelberg by Monday, January 26th. These do not need to be professional presentations, just a brief story about a ministry of your church with a picture or two.
