Spring Gospel Meeting — What A Good Week!

I have never heard as many positive comments after a (meeting) sermon as I have this week. Wednesday night there were three that said, “This is the best meeting I have ever attended.” If you don’t know, each night the preaching was done by teenagers, except for one Heritage student. On Sunday five of our [...]
