From My Heart: Over the past few years we have
experienced a miracle in our church. We have stepped out
in faith, partnered with God, given generously from our
hearts, and built a new church home. We have participated
in something bigger than ourselves. The most exciting
miracle, though, is not what has happened on a piece of
property -- it is what has happened in our hearts. We are
not the same church we were a few years ago. --
