I believe God was at work in the people that will be invited to One Church, already preparing their hearts for an invitation to experience Him. I believe something big happened on Sunday. God not only worked, but continues to be at work and we are invited to do this work with Him. God is at work bringing His Kingdom here and He’s using us to help.
It’s happening!
