The Spirit of God moved... something changed and lives were impacted and God's Kingdom advanced!
It was the day the church became a UNIFIED church.
It was the day the church became a SHARING, GENEROUS church.
It was the day the church became a COMPASSIONATE church.
It was the day the church became a WORSHIPPING church.
It was the day the church became a FORGIVING church.
It was the day the church became a PRAYING church.
Sticky Statement
WHOOSH... it's the church becoming the source of "good news" again!

It is the day the church comes ALIVE!
