Man! Has God been doing some crazy things! Our closing service was powerful and God moved the entire service. Katie, Elise, and Courtney gave their testimonies and Johnathan lead worship with a lady from the church. Also, Micah gave a powerful message and many people were touched by God. What a great way to end the week!
