"I heard a pastor this morning who said it was like the big end to the card game. Don't look for it, just stick all your chips in the middle of the table and let it go. When you let it go, tell God "it's all Yours Lord", then He…"

"We don't do After Glows to often. Probably because the people in are fellowship are spread out over the whole Phoenix area. Something we do do is something called a Night Of Worship. Three to four times a year we put together a night of prayer,…"
