We have seen from the book of Genesis that humans after the fall are far from perfect. However, when we walk with the Lord, we become a fountain of blessings to others. It is a mystery how God uses us, imperfect people, in His amazing plan for the salvation of humanity. This week is our monthly fellowship potluck lunch following second service.
