WE NEED ONE ANOTHER

The Refuge

		“In the last days the mountain of the Lord’s temple will be established as chief among the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and people will stream to it. Many nations will come and say, “come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of God of Jacob.” Micah 4:1-2

Our church can be Your home.
