More than conquerors!
Don McLaughlin from North Atlanta Church of Christ came for a special visit and a message related to our theme for the year: We are more than conquerors through Him who loved us!

REAL Concern
This week completes the REAL series; a series exploring what it means to live an authentic Christian life.
