Do you remember that moment Friends Church made a difference in your life? I do. Actually, I have quite a few moments I could share. But the most impactful was the first time I came to Friends Church. My uncle invited me. I needed a nursery for my baby, people who would love a single mom and her kiddo, and Jesus. Friends Church met all of those needs. And that day began a long journey of healing and transformation that continues to this day. I know my story is one of many—and we want to hear those stories! Would you tell us yours? Pastor Aaron will share more about this Sunday morning. We’re looking forward to hearing how Friends Church has been a part of your story! Until then, let's pray for each other as we live out the story Jesus is writing through each of our lives — that through the trials and the joys, the hard and the good, our lives will continually testify to His faithfulness. See you Sunday!
