Just a mother and proud to be one!

Just a mother (and proud to be one) Part 2

In the poem by William Ross Wallace, he writes that the hand that rocks the cradle, is the hand that rules the world. Mothers may not be considered important to the world because we do not bring in any money. But, without mothers who mother wholeheartedly, society will fall apart.

We survived the 21-Day Prayer and Fast Initiative!

On 7th February, 2016, our senior pastor, announced that the Church as a whole would be going into a 21-Day Prayer and Fast initiative starting 6th March and ending on 26th March, Resurrection Sunday. He then took us through a 4 week sermon series to prepare us for it. He must have been very convincing […] Read more…
