Some of the Strongest People

So many changes in the air, shifts, for the past couple of years it has felt like our Church was under attack, I've nearly lost people who have become family, and in the last two years weve lost more than ten members due to death, a reminder that tomorrow isnt a promise but a gift. I've seen some of the strongest people brought to their knees in pain or grief, but I've seen something else too that unshakable faith that has got them through.

That is so true we are not promised anything. We can just live a good life and be kind to others.

Many churches are having major issues cause their members aren't accepting all stripes and polka dotted people.

@sallypup I was actually talking more along the lines Of having several members pass away in a short period Of time and many members loose loved ones, we are a relatively small Church so we have definitely felt the weight of those losses!
