Why Does Your Church Need You?

Contributed by Perry Anderson on Oct 6, 2013

We tend to think we go to church only to get, but in truth, we go to church to give. We don't go to church, we are the church and each member is valuable and needed.

When each part functions the body grows and stays strong. When a part of the physical body fails to function or is ...read more
