Love Feast & Thoughts at the Halfway Point

We had our last meal as a full group. We call it a love feast (Check out the history of Love feast and the Moravians). It’s a time to think about God’s goodness in the past 3 months.

We also felt it on our hearts to wash our team’s feet. As leaders we wanted to lead as Jesus did, by

His faithfulness is awe-inspiring.
