FIRED UP!

Our inaugural FIRED UP! service went well this evening.  Six people came out in the storm to worship God.  Next week (May 1), we will be meeting in the chapel due to a schedule conflict.  The service starts around 6:30 and lasts about a half hour, and is very informal with a focus on contemporary music.  Hope to see you there!
