In the coming weeks, we’ll be taking a look at each of the fruits of the Holy Spirit and how affirming them cultivates intentional mindfulness within us. Affirmations are a statement intended…

Nanci’s love for Jesus and for her family and friends comes through in these videos of some of our dear friends.
