Essential Messages from God’s Servants
So thankful I looked back on my eMails from last week. I was in the “panic” mode concerning this week’s lesson outline. It is so much easier to read and “add to” the larger print of this format. I am so thankful for the hard work that is done for us. Will we get this download each week? Thanks again and God bless each of you responsible for this access.
