Third Thursday at the Cabin

We had a good night.  Despite the fact that we have been meeting about then years, we were able last night to have someone come who has never been before.  We also had people from eight different churches, which I find so amazing each month.  Our next gathering will be July 20th.

. . . The urgent request of a righteous person is very powerful in its effect.
