  October 20th Note
  How amazing is it that we have a God who blesses us so much! God not only provides us with what we need, but goes beyond that. This weekend’s theme was God’s “abundant” grace. He gives us that loving grace above and beyond anything that we can even imagine. We can truly thank God for his overflowing mercy.
