Lemon Grove Outreach
10/23/15

On Friday before the ONE worship gathering, a few of us met up at the church to walk to the trolley area to invite people to come and worship with us, and God had five divine meetings take place.

The first gentleman we met was near the opening of an alley, which brought back some memories for me.

Years ago, I used to walk through that same alley all the time, so much so that I’d wanted to create a naughty memory Continue reading →

“Just Ask”

| Laura Lee Bonde

you’d see my heart is pure
