You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden.

Just wanted to share something I read before attending the service this morning…
“The breaking down of denominational barriers starts with people like you and me praying together for unity in the body of Christ. And we must also reach out to touch others in different denominations. We can pray that church leaders and pastors will bring people of every denomination in a city together to pray. When that occurs, walls will come down, unity will rise, and powerful things will happen.”
I love our city and will pray for it. Thanks for opening our eyes this morning. Looking forward the rest of the series too.
