Our focus at present is on helping one another encounter God daily to be Christ-like in our community. Romans 12:1-2.

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."
